Steps

1. Press the firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili sauce to create a marinade.
3. Add the tofu cubes, eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the marinade. Toss to coat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

6. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated vegetables and tofu for about 5-7 minutes on each side until nicely charred and cooked through.
