Cuisine Vegan, Vegetarian
- 1 350-400 g block of extra-firm tofu
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (e.g. canola oil)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease or line a large baking tray.
Drain off any excess water from the tofu and pat dry. Use the large side of a cheese grater and grate the tofu into shreds.
In a large bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, chilli powder, paprika and garlic powder. Add the shredded tofu and gently mix so that the tofu is all coated.
Spread the tofu in an even layer on the prepared pan. Bake for 28-33 minutes until the tofu is browned. Stir the tofu half-way through cooking.
Heat the BBQ sauce and water. Stir in the baked tofu. Serve hot on a bun and add your favourite toppings. Or enjoy in tacos or a lettuce wrap. [Recipe is a slight modification from ItDoesn'tTakeLikeChicken.com]
