To press tofu: If you'll be using the tofu for kebabs, cut it into 1/2- to

3/4-inch-thick slices. Otherwise, cut the tofu cutlet- style as described

in the recipes. Arrange the slices on 1 or 2 layers of absorbent dish

towel or several layers of paper towel. Cover with another towel or more

paper towels, then with a cutting board. Place some weight, such as a

heavy skillet, on the board. Allow to sit for 20 to 40 minutes.

 

Tofu to be used for kebabs may then be diced.

 

SWEET AND SAVORY GRILLED TOFU: Cut tofu into 1 1/4 to 3/8-inch-thick slices

and press as directed above. Pour enough Sweet and Savory Grilling Sauce

(see separate recipe) to coat the bottom of a shallow container. Arrange

the pressed tofu slices on top, then cover each with a thin layer of

sauce. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Prepare grill. Grill the tofu

slices on each side for 7 to 10 minutes, or until nicely browned. Let

guests pass around additional sauce to put on the tofu.

 

GRILLED TOFU TERIYAKI: Cut tofu into 1/4 to 3/8-inch- thick slices and

press as directed above. In a shallow container, marinate the tofu slices

in Teriyaki Marinade (see separate recipe) for 30 minutes to 1

hour. Prepare grill. Grill tofu slices on each side for 7 to 10 minutes,

or until nicely browned, brushing them with additional marinade as they

grill. Delicious with Red Onion Relish (see separate recipe) as an

accompaniment.
