Sweet Chili Glazed Tofu

I'm always in search of new meatless Monday recipes and this tofu recipe is one of my favorite options.  Tofu is fast and easy to cook.  As long as you squeeze all of the water out of it, it will absorb any new liquid marinade that is added to it so it always has great flavor!
