Tips

  • For best results, use extra-firm tofu and press it well to remove as much water as possible. This helps the tofu absorb the glaze and get a better sear on the grill.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can bake the tofu skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
