  1. Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium (300°F to 350°F). Cut tofu into slices ½-inch thick. Place slices in a single layer in a shallow glass dish.
  2. For the marinade, in a small bowl combine teriyaki sauce, honey, oil, garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour teriyaki mixture over tofu. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  3. Remove tofu from marinade; pour marinade into a small saucepan. Place tofu on grill. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side or until lightly charred and heated through; remove from grill.
  4. Meanwhile, place saucepan with reserved marinade over high heat; bring to boiling; cook until reduced and slightly thick.
  5. Drizzle reduced marinade over grilled tofu. Sprinkle with green onions and (if desired) red pepper flakes, and serve.
