This recipe came from my mom, who got it from Family Circle. I haven't tried it yet, but I will soon! I cut out the oyster sauce from the marinade, but if you want to use it, the original recipe called for 1 tablespoon of bottled oyster sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tofu. I had some in my fridge that was about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The tofu turned out so well.

I'm not a huge tofu fan, but this recipe changed my mind! The marinade made the tofu so flavorful and juicy. I grilled it until it was slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was the perfect addition to my stir-fry.

This Asian-style grilled tofu was a hit at my last dinner party! The marinade was flavorful and the tofu had a nice, slightly crispy texture. I served it with jasmine rice and a side of vegetables.
