1
Prep

2
Marinate
Leave tofu to absorb flavors and deepen in color for 30 minutes.
3
Build
Thread tofu onto skewers alternating with bell pepper and red onion pieces, packing snugly so each side sits flat.

Grill
Cook skewers over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes until grill marks appear and tofu edges brown and firm.
5
Glaze
Brush generously with barbecue sauce and grill 5 minutes more over medium heat, turning and basting until sauce darkens into sticky char. Plate: Lay skewers over warm rice, scatter sliced scallion across top, and serve.
