BBQ Tofu

Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 3 tbs cornstarch
• ½ C vegetable oil
• 1 C barbecue sauce

Directions

1. Press Tofu: Press tofu between paper towels with a weight on top for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
2. Cut & Season: Cut tofu into 1" cubes. Toss with salt, pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Fry: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry tofu for about 12 minutes, turning so each side cooks roughly 2 minutes, until golden on all sides.
4. Finish: Transfer tofu to a serving dish and pour barbecue sauce over the top, coating each piece well.

Chef's Notes

• This is a vegetarian recipe. If you use a vegan-friendly BBQ sauce, it will be fully vegan.
