Ingredients
2
cup
firm tofu
cubed(See Notes. 1)
¼
cup
soy sauce
1
tablespoon
chili garlic sauce
1
tablespoon
cornstarch
1
tablespoon
avocado oil spray
for grilling
Instructions
Open the tofu pack.
Place it in a wire rack for 10 minutes to drain the excess water completely.
Cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Add tofu cubes, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl.
Combine until the sauces coat the tofu cubes evenly.
Set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.
Heat the grill to medium heat. Lightly coat the grill surface with oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated tofu cubes on the grill in a single layer. And lightly spray the tops of the tofu with oil spray.
Grill for about 5 minutes on both sides or until your desired texture is reached.
Serve hot, along with rice and steamed vegetables.
Notes
Firm or extra-firm tofu is best for grilling; gently press out moisture for the crispiest results.
If you like your food spicier, you can adjust the spice level by adding more chili garlic sauce or extra crushed red pepper.
Swap chili garlic sauce with Sriracha or spicy teriyaki sauce, and replace cornstarch with tapioca or potato starch if needed.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 5 days or in the freezer for 3 months; reheat in a skillet for the best texture (avoid microwaving).
