Equipment
- 2 heavy plates
- 1 bbq grill or grill pan on stove
Ingredients
- 1 lb Tofu block
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil

- 1 teaspoon Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 1 clove Garlic minced

Instructions
- Drain the tofu and press between two heavy plates for one hour. Drain again. Alternatively, use a TofuXpress to express the water from the tofu. It can be found here: http://www.tofuxpress.com/. It works like a charm.
- Combine the remaining ingredients, whisking well to combine. Slice the tofu into ½” slices and cover with the marinade for at least one hour.
- Grill on bbq grill or in grill pan on stove until you see grill marks on each side.

Notes
The draining and pressing of tofu helps remove excess water, resulting in a firmer texture and better absorption of flavors. Using a marinade enhances the taste of the tofu, and grilling adds a delicious smoky element.
