How to Make Grilled Teriyaki Tofu Skewers

We start this tofu party off by marinating cubes of tofu in a teriyaki-inspired sauce made with tamari (or soy sauce), coconut sugar, garlic powder, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. The result is super flavorful cubes of tofu. Some of that flavorful marinade gets whisked in a saucepan with arrowroot starch and water to create a thick teriyaki glaze to brush on at the end. Can you tell we like flavorful tofu? Next, we layer the marinated tofu onto skewers with red onion for bites of sweetness and to help hold the tofu in place. Then, it’s grilling time! If you don’t have an outdoor grill or BBQ, you can use a cast iron grill pan on the stovetop. Grill for a few minutes on each side, allowing the skewers to develop grill marks all around. Lastly, brush the grilled tofu with the teriyaki glaze, and enjoy! We hope you LOVE these teriyaki tofu skewers!
