How to Make Apricot Orange Barbecued Tofu
- Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers (optional).
- Grill the tofu for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly charred, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade.
- Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or your favorite salad. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for an extra pop of freshness.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
