Grilled Tofu Skewers with Sriracha Sauce
Prepare to impress your friends with these mouthwatering grilled tofu skewers that pack a punch of flavor. Trust me, they’ll be begging for seconds!
Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (or more if you dare!)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Vegetables for skewering (bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes—get creative!)
- Skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the tofu into bite-sized cubes. This is where you can channel your inner chef—make sure they’re even, or you’ll have one skewer that’s like a tofu Olympic athlete and another that’s, well, a couch potato!
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha sauce, maple syrup or honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Congratulations, you just made a marinade that could have its own cooking show!
- Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them soak up all those glorious flavors for at least 30 minutes. You can use this time to call your friends and let them know they’re in for a treat.
- While the tofu is marinating, chop up your veggies. Make them colorful! Your skewers deserve a rainbow.
- Now it’s time for the fun part. Thread marinated tofu and veggies onto the skewers, alternating between the two like a culinary game of tic-tac-toe.
- Fire up the grill to medium heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu gets that delightful golden brown glow. It’s like the tofu just got back from a beach vacation!
- Once they’re perfectly grilled, serve them hot, perhaps with a cheeky little extra drizzle of Sriracha on top. Trust me, they’ll disappear faster than you can say “tofu skewer!” Enjoy!
So there you have it! A recipe that’s not only delicious but also makes you look like you know your way around a grill. Go ahead, give it a whirl, and watch everyone fall in love with grilled tofu!
