Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1 Red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Bamboo skewers
Instructions
Drain and pat dry the firm tofu using paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, stirring gently to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.
Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion.
Season the assembled skewers with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Place the skewers on the grill, turning occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the tofu is nicely charred on the outside.
Remove from grill and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your grilled tofu skewers with a side of your choice!
