Recipe Introduction

List of Ingredients




Marinade

1/4 C. (60 ml) + 3 T. rice vinegar
1/3 C. (80 ml) Sucanat (unrefined cane sugar) or turbinado sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes

1 lb. (450 g) extra firm tofu, cut into 10 thick fingers

Recipe



Combine rice vinegar, Sucanat, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Gently heat on medium until sugar is dissolved. Pour into an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish and add tofu fingers.
Marinate for several hours or overnight, turning several times.
Insert skewers deeply into tofu fingers, and grill for about 5 to 8 minutes, turning frequently to avoid burning. Serve with Spicy Peanut Sauce for dipping.
