Tofu Marinated in Sweet and Sour Sweet Pepper Sauce

Grilled tofu slices with sear marks and a shiny red glaze for Marinated Tofu

How do you marinate and cook tofu in sweet and sour sauce?

Cut the tofu into slices and layer it with sweet pepper sauce. Let it marinate for 3-4 hours, turning the pieces so they absorb the sauce well. Cook the drained slices on a hot grill for two minutes on each side, until lightly caramelized.

Tofu always surprises us: since it is neutral in flavor, we can coat and marinate it in our favorite sauces and it will always be delicious. For this recipe to be a success, we need to let the tofu marinate for several hours so it absorbs the flavor. For example, with the sauce already prepared beforehand, I put it to marinate early in the morning, turned it at lunchtime, and we ate it for dinner.
