3. Grill tofu 5 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
4. To create the peanut dipping sauce: combine peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, juice of 1 lime, sugar (can substitute with honey if you're not vegan), red pepper flakes. Mix well. Add water to achieve desired consistency and additional salt to taste.
