"Extra-firm or firm tofu: Firm or extra firm is key; avoid packages marked soft or silken tofu. This is a soft version of tofu that is not intended for grilling. (Sometimes silken refers to soft tofu, but we've also seen a brand on the shelves called Silken. Just look for Firm or Extra Firm anywhere on the package!) Mirin: Mirin is a type of Japanese rice wine."
"Rice vinegar: Rice vinegar adds an extra tang to the marinade. Soy sauce: Use full sodium soy sauce for the best flavor, or substitute tamari for gluten-free. Sesame oil or olive oil: Olive oil or standard sesame oil are our top choices here. Avoid toasted sesame oil since that is intended for flavoring in small quantities. Sriracha hot sauce: Add a hint of hot sauce for a kick, if desired!"
Firm or extra-firm tofu is recommended for grilling while soft or silken varieties should be avoided. A zesty, sweet-savory marinade centers on mirin, rice vinegar, and full-sodium soy sauce or tamari. Olive oil or standard sesame oil work best for brushing; avoid toasted sesame oil for larger quantities. Sriracha can add heat to taste. Grill until charred and brush with the marinade to build glaze and smoky flavor. Grilled tofu provides satisfying plant-based protein and can serve as a hearty dinner that even meat eaters may enjoy.
