Bbq Tofu Marinade Baked Bbq Tofu Recipes

PERFECT GRILLED TOFU

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in a clean dish towel and weight it with something heavy such as a large can; leave it to drain for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients in a bowl.
• Cut each piece of tofu crosswise into 6 thick slices and put it all in a baking dish. Pour marinade over tofu, turning to coat, and chill, covered, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours. Longer is better, but shorter is totally fine.
• Preheat a gas grill on high heat (450 degrees F to 650 degrees F) 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F)--or do whatever the equivalent is if you're using charcoal. Oil grate.
• Transfer tofu from marinade (letting excess drip off and reserving marinade) to grill with a spatula. Cover grill and cook tofu, turning once, until well browned but before grill marks get black, 10 to 15 minutes total. Transfer tofu to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it reduces to about 1 cup, about 2 minutes. Pour over tofu and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

BAKED BBQ BREADED TOFU

Steps:

• Place tofu block in an airtight container and put in the freezer until frozen, about 8 hours.
• Transfer frozen tofu to the refrigerator to thaw, about 24 hours.
• Place thawed tofu block onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drain and discard any accumulated liquid from the tofu. Break tofu into 1-inch chunks and place in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce and bread crumbs and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
