Keith's Favorite Grilled Tofu


My man isn't the biggest fan of tofu. He's more of a steak and bacon kinda guy. But when I busted out these Asian tofu skewers last night he was delighted with the complex flavor and interesting textures (grilling makes a world of difference).

Here's what you need:
Firm tofu
fish sauce
Kekap Manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
chili oil
Sriracha
Rice vinegar
black pepper

Press tofu with paper towel, cut into long 'fingers' and toss with the above ingredients. Let marinate for an hour or so. Skewer bricks and grill, adding sauce mid-way and drizzling final sauce over finished skewers.

I served mine over rice noodles, lettuce, mint, basil, shredded carrot, julienned cucumber, and topped with Nuoc Cham.
