Grilled Tofu with Teriyaki Sauce Step-by-Step Magic:

1. First off, you’ll want to drain that tofu. Press out as much water as you can. The drier, the crispier.
2. Cut that tofu into nice thick slices. Half an inch should do.
3. Get a bowl and mix in your ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar. This is where the magic starts.
4. Mix cornstarch with water in another bowl. You’re making a slurry! Add it to your first bowl.
5. Time to cook that sauce. Medium heat, thickening as you go. Should take about 5 minutes.
6. Fire up that grill! Medium-high is your sweet spot. A bit of olive oil will prevent sticking.
7. Grill the tofu slices: 5 minutes each side should give you those drool-worthy grill marks.
8. Brush your grilled tofu with the sauce you just made. Go on, be generous.
9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions for that final touch.

Quick Tips:

1. Pressing tofu is key. The longer, the crispier. Aim for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. A tofu press is handy, but kitchen improvisation with plates and a heavy object does the trick.
3. For the ultimate Grilled Tofu with Teriyaki Sauce, marinate the tofu in the sauce for a couple of hours.
4. Got leftover sauce? Fridge it for up to a week. Future you will thank you.
