Teriyaki Grilled Tofu - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    16 ounces extra firm tofu
    1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
    2 tablespoons honey
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 -2 teaspoon gingerroot, peeled and grated, to taste
    salt and pepper, to taste
    2 -3 green onions, thinly sliced
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Preparation
    Coat grill rack throughly with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium (300\u00b0 to 350 \u00b0 F). Cut tofu into slices 1/2-inch thick. Place slices in a single layer in a shallow glass dish.
    In a small bowl combine teriyaki sauce, honey, oil, garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour teriyaki mixture over tofu and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
    After removing the tofu from the marinade, place the leftover marinade into a sauce pan. Cook over high heat until boiling. Boil marinade until reduced and slightly thick. Turn down heat to very low and start grilling the tofu.
    Grill tofu 5-6 minutes per side, turning gently, until lightly charred and heated through, being careful not to let tofu overcook. Remove from grill. Drizzle reduced marinade over grilled tofu. Sprinkle with green onions and (if desired) red pepper flakes. Serve at once.
