Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. Pour into a shallow dish.
- Place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours - 5 days.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose firm or extra-firm tofu: This type of tofu holds up better to grilling and won't fall apart.
- Press the tofu before grilling: This helps to remove excess water and makes the tofu more flavorful.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to penetrate the tofu.
- Grill the tofu over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the tofu until it is slightly charred and golden brown: This will give the tofu a delicious smoky flavor.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or hoisin sauce.
Conclusion:
Korean barbecue tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great source of plant-based protein and can be easily customized to your liking. With so many different marinades and dipping sauces to choose from, there are endless possibilities for flavor combinations. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, give Korean barbecue tofu a try!
