-
Freeze tofu over night in original unopened package.
-
Remove tofu from freezer and defrost by running hot water on package.
-
Press the water out of the tofu by squeezing gently with your hands. This will allow for the flavors to be absorbed more easily.
-
When pressed, cut the tofu into 8 triangular pieces about 1/2 inch thick, and set aside.
-
In a bowl, combine the sesame seed oil, maple syrup, orange juice, soy sauce, lime juice and black pepper and stir.
-
Soak the tofu pieces in the marinade for at least an hour. For best results, soak overnight in the fridge.
-
After soaked, heat up a pan (doesn’t necessarily have to be a grilling pan) with vegetable oil.
-
Cook the tofu pieces for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Make sure the tofu has a blackened color.
-
Remove and enjoy!
