Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. Pour into a shallow dish.
- Place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours - 5 days.
- Remove tofu from the marinade (you can use it to make a sauce if you want, since there's no raw meat involved) and roll in the sesame seeds.
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat (I don't recommend an actual barbecue for this unless the grate is really narrow). Grease well.
- Place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
- Serve as part of a rice or noodle bowl, or with a stir fry. This also tastes great as part of a sandwich or wrap.
