Sesame ginger tofu skewers

PREP TIME: 20 minutes / TOTAL TIME: 2 hours / SERVINGS: 2

Sesame-Ginger Marinade
⅓ c rice wine vinegar
¼ c lower-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
4 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp honey
½ tsp crushed red-pepper flakes (optional)

Skewers
1 pkg extra-firm tofu
4 wooden skewers (12" long)
12 shiitake mushrooms

1. PREPARE MARINADE: Add all marinade ingredients to medium bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
2. PREPARE SKEWERS: Remove tofu from package, drain, and set on plate lined with paper towels. Top with more paper towels and a heavy cutting board or skillet to help absorb excess liquid. Set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cut tofu into 1½" chunks and marinate with mushrooms for at least 1 hour. Coat grill or grill pan with cooking spray and prepare for medium-high heat.
3. MEANWHILE, thread 3 tofu cubes and 3 mushrooms onto each presoaked skewer. Grill until tofu is heated through and grill marks form, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
