Notes
tip from my kitchen: let the tofu and mushrooms soak in the marinade overnight if you can – the longer they marinate, the more flavorful they get. pat the firm tofu really dry first, so it absorbs the marinade better and turns crispier. preheat the grill properly and only turn the skewers once a crust has formed, so they don't stick to the grates. keep brushing them with the leftover marinade as they cook.
