👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water; then slice it into even 1/2-inch thick slabs.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and maple syrup to create the marinade.
3. Place the tofu slices into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated; let them marinate for at least 20-30 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the marinated tofu slices for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown with visible grill marks and slightly firm to the touch.
6. Serve the grilled tofu immediately, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
