Slice the block of tofu in half through the center

You can place the marinated tofu directly on the grill, or I use a grill basket.

Grill for 7 minutes on each side

Let cool slightly

GRILLING TOFU

Follow the same directions for marinating.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Place tofu pieces on a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; I used my copper crisper pan.

Cook for 15 minutes; then flip over and cook another 15 minutes

BAKED VERSION (If you don&#39;t have a grill) 

Dip the marinated tofu on each side with cornstarch

Place large pieces into the basket, not touching each other.

Cook on 370 for 10 minutes

Open the basket and turn large tofu pieces over.

Bake for 10 more minutes
