Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 block of firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 skewers

Cooking Tips:

- Use firm tofu for this recipe, as it will hold up better on the skewers.
- Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook these skewers in a grill pan or on a stovetop griddle.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
2. Place the tofu cubes in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated tofu, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
5. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is lightly charred and the vegetables are tender.
6. Serve the skewers hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or green onions, if desired.
