Mac N Cheese with Pan-Fried Bbq Tofu
Ingredients
- 2 servings of extra firm tofu, about 1/2 a block
- 2 tbsp vegan friendly BBQ sauce
- 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
Preparation
Cut tofu into slices (about 1/4 inch or 0.5 cm thick), lay them between 2 cutting boards and a clean kitchen (or paper) towel, put a heavy pan or pot on top and press them for about 10 minutes to remove excess liquid
Heat up oil in a non stick pan and fry tofu slices until golden about 5 minutes each side on medium heat
Lower heat and pour BBQ sauce over the tofu to glaze the slices and cook them an additional minute each side
Tweaks I made for this dish
Instead of miso paste, I added 1 tbsp of BBQ sauce to the sauce before mixing it with the hot pasta and used the other half of the tofu instead of white beans, along with about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water
I also have been steaming the entire sweet potato instead of boiling it in water
