Whisk together soy sauce, pineapple concentrate, ketchup, sugar, onions, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Grill pineapple slices over medium heat, brushing often with sauce, until pineapple is brown and tender, 2 to 3 minutes each side.
Cut tofu into quarters lengthwise then in half crosswise. Gently set tofu slices on grill and brush with sauce. Carefully turn several times so tofu browns evenly, brushing with sauce. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side. Lightly season with salt.
To serve, place 2 grilled tofu slices on each toasted bun, top with grilled pineapple slice, sprouts, tomato slice and lettuce.
