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 the tofu between paper towels with a weighted item on top for 15 minutes. This is to release the water
2. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes
3. Place the tofu on a large plate and add the salt, pepper, and cornstarch on top. Mix together with your hands or tongs
4. Add oil into a frying pan and heat it to medium-high heat
5. Fry the tofu for 12 minutes, turning it over so each side is cooked for 2 minutes
6. Once evenly-fried, place the tofu into a serving dish and pour the barbecue sauce over the top. Make sure each piece of tofu is coated

Chef's Notes

• This is a vegetarian recipe - if the BBQ sauce is vegan-friendly, this can become a vegan recipe
