GRILLED SOY, GINGER AND LIME TOFU STEAKS WITH CHARRED BABY BOK CHOY
These zesty marinated tofu steaks will become a summertime cookout favorite. Starting with well-dried tofu, adding brown sugar to the marinade and cooking slowly over medium heat helps create a crisp and flavorful crust on the tofu without drying out the center. Topped with extra marinade and sliced scallions and served with charred baby boy choy, this is a deliciously satisfying meal for all.

Steps:
- Put the tofu steaks on a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and top with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove excess moisture. Remove the paper towels and towel and sprinkle the tofu with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Stir to combine the soy sauce, cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and scallion whites in a medium bowl. Pour 1/3 cup of the marinade over the tofu steaks, flipping to coat both sides. Reserve the remaining marinade for serving.
- Put the bok choy on another rimmed baking sheet and brush all sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Prepare a grill for medium heat and brush the grates of the grill with oil.
- Put the tofu steaks and bok choy, cut-sides down, on the grill at an angle across the grates. Close the lid of the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then rotate both the tofu and the bok choy 90 degrees and cook another 5 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the tofu steaks and bok choy and cook for another 10 minutes with the lid closed, rotating 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks.
- Remove the tofu and bok choy to a platter. Spoon the reserved marinade over the tofu and bok choy and sprinkle the tofu steaks with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Press the tofu. Put the tofu on to press for 30 minutes. Ideally use a tofu press but if you don't have one then place the tofu onto a plate with another plate on top of it and then stack something heavy on top like heavy books or a heavy pot.
- Prepare the marinade sauce. While the tofu is pressing add sesame oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, maple syrup, crushed garlic, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and ground black pepper to a measuring jug and whisk together until well mixed.
- Marinate the tofu steaks. When the tofu is finished pressing, slice it into four rectangular steaks. Place the steaks into a shallow tray and brush all sides with the marinade sauce and leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan on medium heat. When hot, brush it with sesame oil.
- Grill the tofu steaks. Add two tofu steaks to the hot grill pan and let them cook for 3 minutes. They should stick to the pan when they first go in, this is fine. After 3 minutes they should release easily from the pan. Flip them over and cook on the other side for 3 minutes. They should now have nice straight grill lines on them.
- Brush with marinade sauce. When the tofu steaks are cooked, use some leftover marinade sauce to brush the steaks on both sides and then remove them from the pan.
- Repeat with the next two tofu steaks.
- Serve with veggies, salad or chips or topped with vegan peppercorn sauce.

GRILLED OR ROASTED TOFU SATAY
Steps:
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the dry tofu and red pepper and toss gently with a rubber spatula to coat evenly. Let marinate 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Refrigerate if longer than 1 hour.
- Prepare the grill or preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- To make the sauce, place all the sauce ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into a decorative serving bowl.
- Remove about 1/3 cup of the sauce and drizzle it over the tofu. Use the rubber spatula to toss the tofu gently with the sauce. If you are grilling the satay, thread the tofu and red peppers on skewers. (Bamboo skewers must be soaked for 30 minutes.) If you are roasting the tofu in the oven, place it in 1 layer in a large, shallow baking dish such as a 9 x 13-inch lasagna pan. Use 2 pans if one pan isn't large enough.
- Cook the tofu on the hot grill at least 20 minutes, turning it occasionally, or roast in the oven for 25 minutes. The tofu is done when it is a deep golden brown. Let the tofu cool to room temperature before serving. Serve alongside a bowl of sauce for dipping.
- Tip: Canned coconut milk sometimes separates so that there is a thick, pasty mass at the top of the can and thin liquid on the bottom. Also, if the can has been kept in a cool cupboard, the milk will appear solid rather than liquid. In either case, stir the coconut milk before measuring it. Once heated, the coconut milk will thin out.
