Make

  1. Brush tofu with some BBQ sauce.
  2. Heat up a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some cooking oil and then place tofu onto heated grates. Sear on each side for 4 to 6 minutes each, continuing to brush on BBQ sauce throughout the grilling process.
  3. Toast buns.
  4. Enjoy BBQed tofu in sandwiches with slaw and sour cream! You’ll have more slaw than is needed for sandwiches, so have some on the side too.
