Then, clean and cut the vegetables down into bite-sized skewer pieces. Try to make them the same size for even cooking.
To prepare the marinade, add all the ingredients apart from the water to a small bowl and whisk well. Then add the water, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing in between. Set aside.

Step 2: Marinate and assemble the tofu vegetable skewers
Transfer the pressed tofu and chopped vegetables to a large shallow dish and pour over the marinade. Stir with a spatula to carefully cover the ingredients.
Allow marinating in the fridge for 60 minutes (or overnight to make ahead. The longer they marinate, the more flavor they’ll soak up). At the same time, soak your wood/bamboo skewers in water for 30-60 minutes (this will ensure they don’t burn during the cooking process).
To assemble the veggie skewers, allow the excess marinade to drip off the tofu/veggies before threading them onto the skewers (what ingredients go first, etc., is up to you!). Make sure to keep the excess marinade, as you’ll need it.
