Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by pressing the block of tofu to remove excess water. To do this, wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, then place a heavy object on top of it, like a plate or a book. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to press out the water.
-
While the tofu is being pressed, prepare your vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into bite-sized chunks and slice the zucchini into rounds.
-
Once the tofu has been pressed, cut it into cubes of similar size to the bell peppers and zucchini.
-
In a shallow dish, pour the teriyaki sauce and add the cubed tofu. Allow the tofu to marinate in the sauce for at least 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. While the grill is heating up, assemble your skewers by alternating the marinated tofu with the bell peppers and zucchini.
-
Once the skewers are assembled, place them on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the remaining teriyaki sauce until the tofu is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
-
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor.
