2 (14-oz.) pkg. extra-firm tofu, drained
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons salted, roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger (from a 1/2 in. piece)
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons thinly sliced red Fresno chiles (from 2 chiles)

1
Cut each tofu block in half lengthwise to make 4 (1 1/2-inch-thick) slabs. Wrap each slab with several layers of paper towels or kitchen towels. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove towels. Place tofu slabs on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle tofu with canola oil, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the salt.
2
Process sesame oil, peanuts, vinegar, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until finely chopped, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3
Preheat grill to medium-high (400u00b0F to 450u00b0F). Add tofu to grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill, uncovered, until heated through and well-marked, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and cut each block crosswise into 3 pieces. Arrange on a platter, and drizzle with peanut sauce; sprinkle with cilantro and chiles. Serve with lime wedges.
