Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu

3 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup for vegan option)

3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray or oil, for grilling

Instructions
 

Prep the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Once done, cut the tofu into thick slices (about ¾-inch).

    Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

      Marinate the Tofu: Place the sliced tofu into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tofu, making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for more flavor.

        Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates with cooking spray or brush with some oil to prevent sticking.

          Grill the Tofu: Once the grill is hot, remove the tofu from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the slices on the grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until you see nice grill marks and the tofu is heated through.

            Glaze the Tofu (Optional): In the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the reserved marinade over the tofu for a glossy finish and additional flavor, but make sure to cook it long enough to kill any bacteria from the raw marinade.

              Serve: Once done, remove the tofu from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot as a main dish or in a wrap, salad, or rice bowl.
