9. Once grilled, remove the tofu slices from the grill and set aside.

Tips

1. Make sure to press your tofu properly. This helps in better absorption of the spicy orange sauce.
2. For an extra zing, add some orange zest to the sauce.
3. If you’re not a fan of spice, you can reduce the amount of red chili flakes.
4. Using a grill pan gives the tofu those beautiful grill marks, but you can also use a regular skillet.
