Grilled Tofu With Vietnamese-Style Dipping Sauce

• 1 brick firm tofu, cut in large chunks, lightly salted and placed in a strainer, to release moisture, for about 20 minutes
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, or cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 pinch dried Thai red chile flakes, or 1 small fresh Thai chile, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 scallions, sliced thinly
• 1/4 cup grated daikon radish

1. Preheat a griddle to 350u0b0 F or place a pan over medium-high heat. Spread coconut oil in pan to melt or spray prepared tofu with coconut oil spray, place on hot griddle. Brown tofu on each side for 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
2. Make sauce by combining, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. You can also microwave it for 1 minute to make sure sugar dissolves fully, as a shortcut.
3. Add chile and garlic into sauce, stir well, and add tofu. Top with scallions and daikon. This is great with rice or on its own as an appetizer.
