Name: Korean Style Bbq Tofu
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/3 cup soy sauce; 1 small pear, peeled and diced; 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil; 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; 2 teaspoons honey; 1 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon onion powder; 3 garlic cloves; 1 pinch red pepper flakes; 1 lb extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and cut into 1/2-inch slabs; 1/4 cup sesame seeds

1
Combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. Pour into a shallow dish.
2
Place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours - 5 days.
3
Remove tofu from the marinade (you can use it to make a sauce if you want, since there's no raw meat involved) and roll in the sesame seeds.
4
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat (I don't recommend an actual barbecue for this unless the grate is really narrow). Grease well.
5
Place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
6
Serve as part of a rice or noodle bowl, or with a stir fry. This also tastes great as part of a sandwich or wrap.
