INGREDIENTS:
14 oz firm or extra firm tofu (drained weight 4 oz)
2 Tbs Rick’s Rub Asian seasoning
6 bamboo skewers
Cherry tomatoes
Yellow peppers

Prep for tofu:

Slice open the package and drain out the water. Cut the block of tofu width-wise into eight ½” thick slices

Set another cookie sheet on top and set heavy objects on top, such as canned goods, cook books, etc.
Leave the tofu for at least 30 mins to allow as much water out of the spongy tofu as possible. This will allow other flavours into the tofu!
Once the tofu has released most of the water, you are ready to proceed with the recipe!
