Marinade
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tsp Asian garlic chili sauce
5-6 drops liquid smoke
1-1/2 Tbsp sorghum molasses
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
2 cups seitan AND/OR 12 oz. extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 Tbsp sucanat OR brown sugar
Place the seitan in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl, then pour over the seitan. Marinate for at least one hour (overnight, if possible).
Drain off the marinade and put in a small saucepan. Add the sucanat or sugar and simmer the marinade until bubbly.
Grease a grill pan very well. Grill the seitan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until slightly blackened. Put the grilled seitan in a covered glass dish, coat with barbecue sauce and let sit until the whole batch is finished. Serve with the warm marinade on the side.
Notes: If using tofu, cut into 1/4-inch thick triangles. Unless you like your tofu wobbly, you'll need to bake it in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes to firm it up and/or pan-fry it before adding the grill marks.
