Recipe Introduction


One of the things I miss most as a veggie is barbecue sauce, since it's typically eaten with steak or ribs. What can a vegetarian eat barbecue sauce with? I've just learned the answer: fried tofu. Give this barbecued tofu sandwich a try - you won't believe your taste buds.




List of Ingredients




Tools Colander
Kitchen or paper towels
Knife
Large frying pan
Spatula

Ingredients 1 pound extra-firm tofu
3 T vegetable oil
1-1½ c barbecue sauce
4 sandwich rolls or pitas, sliced open


Recipe



Drain the tofu, squeeze out excess water, pat dry, and cut into ¼-in slices.
Heat the oil in the frying pan, add the tofu slices, and fry until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Flip and repeat.

Pour the barbecue sauce into the pan and stir so that each tofu slice is coated. Leve to marinate for 30 minutes.

Three options:

Make into sandwiches and eat lukewarm.
Heat the tofu in the bbq sauce for 5-10 minutes, make into sandwiches, and eat hot.
Put the tofu/bbq sauce in the fridge until you're ready to make it into sandwiches and eat cold.
