                       Fire up the grill and enjoy these tasty tofu skewers without heating
                       up the kitchen. If it’s cold or rainy outside, you can use an indoor grill
                       pan instead. To drain the tofu before cutting it, see the Sweet Chili-
                       Tofu and Sugar Snap Stir-Fry recipe's Cooking Tip on page 182.
                       Cooking Tip: Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes
                       before threading them with ingredients to prevent them from
                       burning on the grill.
