Ingredients

  • 400 grams Firm tofu
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1 Green bell pepper
  • 1 Red onion
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 8 Bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Drain and pat dry the firm tofu using paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, stirring gently to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.

Step 4

Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 5

Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion.

Step 8

Season the assembled skewers with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill, turning occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the tofu is nicely charred on the outside.

Step 10

Remove from grill and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your grilled tofu skewers with a side of your choice!
