Ingredients

  • 14-ounces firm or extra firm tofu*
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili garlic sauce, if desired

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the tofu into large cubes (about 1.5″ x 2″) and pat it dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Add the oil to a non-stick pan and add the tofu cubes and a few pinches kosher salt. Turn on the heat to medium-high. Cook 5 to 6 minutes until lightly browned on the bottom.

  3. 3

    Briefly remove the pan from the heat to reduce spitting. Flip the tofu with chopsticks (the easiest method!) or tongs. Return the heat to medium-high and cook additional 5 to 6 minutes until browned.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, stir together the BBQ sauce, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce.

  5. 5

    Briefly remove the pan from the heat again and drizzle with the sauce (watch for spitting). Return to low heat and cook 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until sauce is thickened. Serve immediately.
