Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium
• Zucchini - 1 medium
• Green onion - 2 stalks

• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Wooden skewers - 4, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps

1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 2 cm cubes.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them soak for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. While the tofu is marinating, chop the red bell pepper and zucchini into bite-sized pieces, and slice the green onions into 2 cm sections.
5. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Thread the marinated tofu, red bell pepper, zucchini, and green onion onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
7. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and the vegetables are tender.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or additional green onion if desired.
