Easy Grilled Tofu

Remove the tofu from the package and drain the liquid. Cut each tofu package into half lengthwise and place it in a large bowl. Microwave it on high for 2 minutes; this helps to extract liquid. Drain off excess liquid released in the microwave.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mirin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil.

Cut each slab into 3 large slices, or 12 slices total. Brush all sides of the slices with the sauce (reserving the remainder for after grilling), and sprinkle generously with kosher salt . Allow to marinate while you preheat the grill.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450°F).

When the grill is ready, place the tofu slabs onto the grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned with grill marks, and the tofu releases from the grates. Remove from the grill. Transfer to a serving plate and brush on remaining sauce, pouring any leftover over the top. Taste and if necessary, add a few more pinches kosher salt .
