Korean Barbecue Tofu

I saw this recipe for Korean Barbecue Tofu by Emeril Lagasse on 'Emeril Green'.
I wanted to try it but his version was a bit complicated for me, so I simplified it down some. I made it twice now, as an appetizer. I made it even easier by using jarred minced garlic, jarred ginger and bottled lime juice.

It's a really forgiving and adjustable recipe, so make it however suits you. Here's my version, and that what's on the card, but Emeril's original is posted below.

My Version:

Korean Barbecue Tofu

1 pound extra firm tofu
Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
grated carrot
sliced scallion

To Taste:
Soy sauce
Hoisin sauce
Chili sauce
Lime juice
Minced garlic
Minced ginger
Sesame oil

Barbeque Sauce:
In a bowl, combine all the sauces, minced garlic, ginger and sesame oil.

Tofu:
Brush tofu with oil and place on preheated grill. Grill for 5 minutes. Turn over and brush with
the sauce. Grill for an additional five minutes. Remove from grill and slice into 1/2 inch slices.

Serve the tofu in the lettuce leaves. Garnish with grated carrot & sliced scallions.
