BBQ Tofu!

[Stuckinthebush]

OK...I'm going to try this soon. Any suggestions?

A few weeks ago my wife and I were going through Charleston, SC, and found a vegan restaurant called the Soul Kitchen. It was soul food vegan style. Amazing! We had mac n cheese, kale greens, cornbread and BBQ tofu. I think I almost licked the plate clean.

So...I want to try BBQ tofu. I have a block of extra firm tofu in the freezer, and am planning to thaw it, cover it with BBQ sauce and bake it.

My questions are these:

What temperature and how long should I bake it. I am scared that I will dry out the tofu if I'm not careful.

Oh...and any more great tofu recipe ideas would be much appreciated! We cubed it the other night and did the shake and bake thing. It was alright, but not that tasty.

Thanks!

1. I slice it it 1/2 inch sections

then I cover it in paper towels and press as much water out of it that I can get. Then I dip it in soy sauce and pan fry it in hot oil until it is golden brown.

Then I put it in a pan and cover it with bbq sauce and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, or you can put it on the grill and baste it with bbq sauce.
I have tried it without frying it first and it doesnt turn out very good.

Hope this helps

2. Thanks for the suggestion....

I didn't even think about pan frying first.

I'll take your advice!

5. Thanks for the recipie!

I made it this weekend with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus, and it was the best dinner I've made in ages, even though I forgot the soy sauce. :)

4. YUM - think I will try the

pan fry first method too. I loves the tofu but giving it family appeal can be.......... challenging.
