3. 3

   Cut each piece of tofu crosswise into 6 thick slices and put it all in a baking dish.

4. 4

   Longer is better, but shorter is totally fine.

6. 6

   Preheat a gas grill on high heat (450 degrees F to 650 degrees F) 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F)--or do whatever the equivalent is if you're using charcoal.

   Oil grate.

8. 8

   Transfer tofu from marinade (letting excess drip off and reserving marinade) to grill with a spatula.

10. 10

    Transfer tofu to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.

11. 11

    Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it reduces to about 1 cup, about 2 minutes.
