Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp reduced-sodium tamari
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp gochujang or chili paste (optional)
- 2 tsp maple syrup or date paste
Method
- Press the tofu under a weight for 1-2 hours to remove excess water.
- Whisk together the tahini, tamari, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger powder, garlic powder, water, gochujang, and maple syrup for the marinade.
- Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and place in a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over, turning to coat, and marinate 4-6 hours or overnight, flipping halfway if possible.
- Grill or pan-sear the tofu over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
Tip: Press the tofu well - it makes a big difference in how much marinade it absorbs.
