If you want to avoid the tofu sticking to the barbecue when cooking then make sure that you remove as much water from it as possible. Plus also you use extra firm tofu whenever possible.
Ingredients
450grams Extra Firm Tofu Drained Cut Lengthwise Into 8 Slices
120ml Fresh Lime Juice
80ml Maple Syrup
60ml Low Sodium Tamari Or Soy Sauce
2 Teaspoons Chilli Paste With Garlic
3 Garlic Cloves Minced
¼ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
1. After slicing up the tofu place on several layers of paper towel and cover with several more. Then leave to stand for 20 minutes. Occasionally place some weight on to the paper towels as this will help to squeeze even more water out.
2. After the 20 minutes have elapsed remove the tofu from between the paper towels and place ina shallow baking dish. Ready for marinade that you are about to make to be poured over them.
3. To make the marinade in a small bowl place the lime juice, maple syrup, Tamari or soy sauce,chilli paste, minced garlic and pepper and whisk. Then pour over the tofu making sure that you turn the tofu over so it is coated all over in the sauce. Then cover very lightly with some plastic wrap before then placing in the refrigerator to marinate. 4 hours is sufficient for marinating the tofu in the sauce. But if you want more of the sauces flavors to be absorbed by the tofu then leave it to marinate in it overnight.
4. Just before you place the tofu on the barbecue to cook, make sure that you have brushed thegrill with oil and it has been placed six inches above the heat source, as you want to cook the tofu on a medium heat. Any marinade left over after you remove the tofu from the dish should be kept for use later.
