Ingredients

  1. 3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk, stirred well
  2. 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  3. 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
  4. 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  5. 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
  6. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  7. 1 14-ounce block firm tofu, drained
  8. 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  9. 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  10. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
  11. 1 head broccoli
  12. Sesame seeds, for topping

Instructions

  1. Whisk the coconut milk, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, brown sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Firmly press the tofu dry with paper towels, cut into eight 1/2-inch-thick slabs, then firmly press dry again. Arrange in a small baking dish and pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the top; turn to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the peanut butter and vinegar into the remaining coconut milk mixture until smooth; season with salt and pepper and set aside for serving. 
  3. Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Trim the broccoli and peel the stalks; slice into thin spears. Toss with the vegetable oil; season with salt. 
  4. Grill the broccoli, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the tofu from the marinade and pat dry; season with salt. Grill the tofu, lightly brushing occasionally with the marinade, until well marked, about 2 minutes per side. Serve the tofu and broccoli with the peanut sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
