Grilled Tofu on the Arteflame Grill

Grilled tofu is a healthy, flavorful dish that takes on a whole new level of taste when cooked on the Arteflame grill. With its ability to absorb marinades, tofu grills to perfection, developing a crispy exterior while maintaining a soft, tender inside. Using the Arteflame grill’s flat cooktop allows for even searing without burning, while adding a smoky richness to the tofu.

Introduction

This grilled tofu recipe uses the Arteflame grill to create a crispy, smoky tofu dish that’s packed with flavor. Marinated in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, the tofu is seared to perfection on the flat cooktop, giving it a crispy exterior and tender interior. Perfect for vegetarians and those looking for a healthy, protein-rich option, this grilled tofu makes a great addition to salads, bowls, or wraps.

Ingredients

  • 1 block of firm tofu (pressed to remove excess water)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped scallions or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

Light up your Arteflame grill with oiled napkins and firewood. After 20 minutes, the flat cooktop will be ready for grilling. The medium-heat zone will be perfect for searing the tofu without burning it.

Step 2: Press the Tofu

Place the tofu block on a paper towel-lined plate, then set another plate on top with something heavy (like a can) to press out the excess water. Let it press for about 15 minutes to ensure the tofu holds its shape while grilling.

Step 3: Marinate the Tofu

While the tofu presses, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch thick slices and place them in the marinade. Let the tofu soak in the marinade for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to coat all sides.

Step 4: Grill the Tofu

Once the grill is ready, place the tofu slices on the flat cooktop, directly over medium heat. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the tofu is crispy and golden brown. The tofu should have a slight char from the grill, with a crispy exterior and soft center.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Remove the grilled tofu from the Arteflame and sprinkle with chopped scallions or sesame seeds. Serve immediately as a main dish, or add to salads, rice bowls, or wraps.

Tips for Success

  • Pressing the tofu is essential for removing excess moisture and ensuring a crispy texture.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 15 minutes to allow it to absorb the flavors fully.
  • Grill over medium heat to prevent the tofu from sticking or burning.

Conclusion

Grilling tofu on the Arteflame grill brings out a smoky richness, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. This simple and healthy recipe is packed with flavor, thanks to a savory marinade of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Perfect as a main or side dish, this grilled tofu will quickly become a go-to favorite.

Variations

1. Spicy Grilled Tofu

  • Add a tablespoon of sriracha or chili paste to the marinade for a spicy kick.

2. Lemon Herb Tofu

  • Replace the soy sauce with lemon juice and add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a lighter, citrusy flavor.

3. Teriyaki Tofu

4. Balsamic Glazed Tofu

  • Add balsamic vinegar to the marinade for a rich, tangy glaze that caramelizes on the grill.

5. Smoky BBQ Tofu

  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce in place of the marinade and grill the tofu until it’s caramelized and sticky.

Best Pairings
