Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 carton tofu, firm -- or extra-firm, drained

3/4 cup of any of the following:

soy sauce or tamari, teriyaki sauce, steak

sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue

sauce or Korean barbecue sauce

salt & freshly ground pepper

 

Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch slabs. Brush it with any of the sauces and season

with salt & pepper.

 

Preheat the grill. Make sure the grill rack is clean and oiled. You can add

wood chips or rosemary twigs to the flames for their fragrant smoke.

 

Cook the tofu until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Turn 45 degrees for

cross-hatched lines, if desired, then turn and cook on the second side as well.

Brush with additional sauce as it cooks. Just take care not to overcook it;

tofu can dry out. Serve with accompaniments such as sambals, chutneys, or

salsas.

 

Note: For onion rings, slice a large peeled red or yellow onion into 1/2-inch

rounds. Brush with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Secure the rings

on a couple of toothpicks so they won't fall apart. Grill on both sides until

lightly marked and slightly softened.

NOTES : Author's Note: After much experience, I'm convinced that all the

marinating in the world doesn't do as much for tofu as we'd like it to. The

marinade doesn't really penetrate or transform the tofu. What you might do,

however, to give the tofu some luster and a bit of flavor on the surface, is

simply brush it with any of the sauces mentioned or some similar sauce. While

you're at it, grill some onion rings as well. Regardless of the sauce you use,

they'll be great on top or alongside.
