Grilled Tofu with Peanut Soy Sauce

This is my own recipe.  I made quick-marinated grilled tofu, and served it with crunchy cooked broccoli.  

Ingredients:

1 block extra firm tofu

1/4 cup tamari soy sauce

1/8 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp lime juice

Red pepper flakes

Directions:

Press tofu to remove excess water.  Meanwhile, warm a cast iron grill pan on the stove at medium-high heat.  In a small bowl, mix together the tamari soy sauce, peanut butter, sugar, and lime juice.  Transfer the mixture to a shallow square container.  

Cut tofu into slices and pat dry.  Place tofu slices into sauce container, and turn to coat.  Let slices soak a few minutes, then place in grill pan.  Cook until grill marks darken on one side, then flip to the other side and drizzle a spoonful of sauce on top.  When cooked, remove from pan, drizzle with more peanut soy sauce, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

This turned out great, and tasted fantastic.  The peanut soy sauce was great on the tofu, and the grilled tofu was tender and tasty.  It also went really well with the broccoli.
