1 ½ hours
What’s the serving size?
Serves 4
What do I need?
- 450 g firm tofu
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-centimetre piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
How do I make it?
- Cut tofu into rectangles. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and olive oil. Place tofu rectangles into a shallow dish and pour marinade over the tofu. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat barbecue or a grill pan over medium-high heat and place tofu pieces on the grill (retain the marinade for later). Cook tofu until golden on both sides, then set aside in a warm spot.
- Take leftover marinade and add to a saucepan over high heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then pour into a jug.
- Arrange grilled tofu on a serving plate and serve with sauce on the side.
TOP TIPS
- The longer you marinate the tofu the more flavour it will develop so marinating overnight is ideal if you have time.
