Ingredients

  • 14 oz extra firm tofu block
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Press water out of tofu. Sandwich tofu between several sheets of paper towel on a plate or baking sheet. Place a heavy pan on top of the tofu with 3-4 heavy cans on top of the pan. Allow to sit for 20-30 minutes, changing out paper towels halfway through.

  • Pour soy sauce, sriracha, and minced garlic over cubed and pressed tofu. Gently toss tofu to ensure all pieces are evenly covered. Allow to sit in marinade for a minimum of 10 minutes. Feel free to add more soy sauce or sriracha to be sure that all pieces are covered.
  • Using skewer place tofu, followed by vegetables piercing down the center. Repeat pattern until skewer is filled.

Notes

  1. Make sure tofu is completely covered in marinade and that you allow it to sit in the marinade for a minimum of 10 minutes. The longer you're able to allow the tofu to sit in the marinade the more flavorful it will become. You could even allow the tofu to marinate overnight.
  2. Cut the vegetables and tofu into even bites. This will allow for a more even cook.
  3. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
