Ingredients

• 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and drained
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

6. Brush the tofu with the remaining marinade while grilling to build up extra flavor.
7. Once grilled to perfection, remove the tofu from the heat.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for a delightful garnish.
