Description
Sliced tofu is dipped in egg whites, floured, fried, coated with bbq sauce and grilled. My husband and two year old son love this recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup barbeque sauce
Instructions
- Drain tofu
- and slice into strips. Place in a plastic bag or container
- and freeze overnight. This will give the tofu a meatier texture. Thaw tofu strips
- and blot with paper towels to dry.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl
- whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of barbeque sauce. Combine the flour
- salt
- and pepper in a separate bowl. Dip the tofu slices into the egg mixture
- then into the flour mixture
- shaking off excess flour. Fry in the hot oil for about 1 minute on each side
- until golden brown. Just fry enough at one time so they are not crowded. Remove from the oil to paper towels to drain and cool.
- Preheat the oven’s broiler. Brush tofu slices with additional barbeque sauce
- and allow to marinate while the broiler heats up. Arrange them on a broiler pan
- or wire rack set over a cookie sheet for best results.
- Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 5 minutes on each side
- or until browned and crisp
- watching closely so as not to burn them. Serve warm with the remaining barbeque sauce for dipping.
