Open the package of tofu and drain liquid. Slice tofu squares down the middle to make thinner tofu steaks/squares. Lightly wipe the grill with olive oil on a paper towel using tongs. Over medium heat, grill one side of tofu over direct heat for 7 to 10 minutes to get nice sear marks. Flip over with a spatula and grill the other side 7 to 10 minutes. Move over indirect heat and brush Smokin’ Willie’s Shanghai BBQ Sauce on both sides. Serve hot off the grill. I will drizzle extra sauce on top when I serve them.
I serve this recipe at home over a bed of brown or white rice, steamed vegetables, or use the grilled tofu in a stir fry. This recipe travels well and can be reheated later.
My son Matt was a vegetarian at the time and he asked me to BBQ something besides vegetables & veggie burgers, so we tried tofu. While the Classic Sauce & Fiesta Sauce is good on Tofu, the Shanghai sauce is the hands-down favorite. This recipe is simple and quick and is a change of pace on the grill. I have even had people who avoid tofu tell me that this recipe tastes great. Try it, you’ll like it!
