SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was sooo yummy! I didn't have Louisiana Hot Sauce so I used Cholula. I have a 9 month old son and he loved this too. It was prefect for him to pick up and feed himself. In fact he liked it so much that when he was done eating he kept crawling over to me to eat my portion of tofu. It was funny but it goes to show how good this recipe is. Thank you for posting!!
This is my first time reviewing a recipe and after making this one I couldn't resist writing one. This dish was brilliant and oOo so delicious.
YUMMO!!! I finally bought some tofu today...I was a lil intimidated by it, but I keep seeing sooo many delicious recipes that I want to try, so I bit the bullet...I did a quick marinade of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce...sauteed the tofu in a lil oil with some sliced onions...I just mixed some bbq sauce with water (didn't add any sugar), poured the sauce over the tofu and let it thicken...WOW...my mom wanted to try it---she ate it straight out of the pan!! She loved it---she said it tasted too sweet for her, so I'm happy I didn't add the sugar...I will definitely be making this again in the near future... :P
Yes, barbeque sauce is quite sweet. My fave is Sweet Baby Ray's; it is sweet, but very tasty! I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a barbeque sauce that isn't sweet, since it is pretty much part of the deal. :-) This recipe is great though, so if you want to try it out, you might want to use the hot sauce or something similar to balance it out.
i've never eaten "real" barbeque in my life... is it supposed to be so sweet? any sauce that ive tried seems soo sweet.
Is there a good brand of BBQ sauce anyone can recommend?
thank-ya. ;D
I am a recent vegetarian convert and this recipe will make the transition much easier!
I varied mine by adding broccoli and grilled pineapple, all served over rice. A definite keeper!
Mmmm...tasty. I made 1.5 times the amount of sauce and added a full bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables (I stir-fried it in the pan for a couple minutes before adding the sauce). Then I served it over couscous. It made about 2 large servings. I used chicken wing sauce instead of hot sauce, and liquid aminos instead of soy sauce. I even made a mistake and added too much sugar, but it was still good, although slightly sweet. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks!
mm. I just made this and am still eating it. it made plenty. I got the Nasoya Extra Firm tofu and accidentally got the cubed, but it worked out great because the cubes were the perfect size. I put a little soy sauce on the tofu prior to cooking, and ended up letting it cook in a nonstick pan for quite a while. (I was afraid of ending up with the wrong texture) I also steamed some broccoli and added it in a little while after I added the sauce. Also I added sesame seeds. it would be delicious on top of some rice, but I didn't think of that til later! very very good!!
wow this is awesome
For a good Louisana hotsauce I'd recoment Panola Gourmet pepper sauce. It's great on taste and has a less vinegary taste than some of the other brands. Also Sriracha is great stuff too
