Ingredients

• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, cut into strips (any color)
• Carrot - 1 medium, cut into thin matchsticks
• Mushrooms - 200 grams, halved (shiitake or portobello recommended)
• Tofu - 200 grams, firm, cubed
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and brown sugar to create the marinade.
2. Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coverage.
3. While the tofu is marinating, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. After marinating, remove the tofu and reserve the marinade. Grill the tofu cubes for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Next, add the zucchini, bell pepper, carrot, and mushrooms to the grill and brush them with the reserved marinade. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.
6. Once all vegetables and tofu are grilled, arrange them on a serving platter.
7. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top before serving.
