The acidity of the lime helps to cut through the blandness of the tofu.

Instructions
1. After draining the tofu well slice it into 6 or 8 pieces and then place into a resealable plasticbag. Now add into the bag the lime juice, garlic, ginger and the sesame seed oil. Seal the bag up and turn it over several times to ensure all the pieces of tofu are coated in the sauce. Place in the refrigerator and leave the tofu to marinate in the sauce for at least 8 hours. However if possible it is best to leave the tofu to marinate over night.
2. Once the barbecue has heated up remove the tofu from the bag and pat dry with some papertowels. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and place then on to the lightly oiled barbecue grill. The grill itself should be set 4 inches above the heat source, as you want to cook the tofu over a high heat.
Cook on each side for about 5 minutes or until it starts to turn brown.
3. Whilst the tofu is cooking you can prepare the lime mayonnaise to go with it. Simply place themayonnaise, lime juice and lime zest into a bowl and stir gently with a spoon.
4. As soon as the tofu is cooked placed on to plates and beside the slices of tofu place a spoonfulof the mayonnaise and serve to your guests.
