What a yummy sandwich! Really liked all aspects of this! We sliced our tofu a little thinner so had several of the tofu slices on each sandwich with the slaw onion pickle. Certainly there will be some variety depending on the bbq sauce used but this was fantastic!
It's a texture thing So I do enjoy tofu and the flavors in this sandwich were really good (I love the tangy/creamy combo) but the texture of the tofu was a little off putting. I was hoping the tofu slices would get a little crispier on the edges with the frying but mine didn't. It did help to toast the bun and the crunch of the coleslaw was good but then you bite into that tofu... Maybe it was just the contrasting textures that didn't work quite as well as I had hoped. Still good though and I might try this one again now that I know what to expect.
I don't really like coleslaw so I was going to just go without it but decided to try the dressing with lettuce instead. I loved it! Also I may have done something wrong because the tofu took at least 10 minutes per side to brown on medium heat not 4 as the recipe said. I'd never made tofu before so I have no idea what it should have done. Any thoughts? It still came out a decent consistency (as far as I could tell anyway!)
Tofu will take on any flavor. So for those of you that are kind of timid to use this Earth's amazing food I I promise you good/delicious eating - frying your tofu squares MY WAY. Instead of the bottled barbecue sauce try toss your tofu in this MIX: I/2 cup Whole wheat flour 1/2 cup corn-meal a bit of crushed peppercorns a bit of chili powder (if U like it hot) a bit of cinnamon powder 1 tsp. of chicken powder And a good heaping spoon or Onion powder. Roll the tofu squares to your hearts content in THE MIX and deep fry them.... OH LALALA! YUM! To shy away from processed bread you may try whole grain buns or whole wheat Flat bread. Enjoy! CATCH THE RIPPLES!
Loved these burgers! These burgers are an easy weeknight dinner are very delicious and--best of all--my vegetable averse teenager loved them. I doubled the recipe so had lots of leftovers. They make great cold lunch sandwiches for the next day. Pros: A hit with my vegetable averse teenager! Cons: None
We made these last night and they were very good. My husband does not like tofu and he liked them. Followed the recipe exactly.
I made this recipe during a BBQ we had the other day. It was pretty good. Im trying to eat less meat and so this was a great alternative to the Bbq chicken and Carne Asada my family made. In fact some of them were eyeing my sandwich! I used the recipe from the P90x coleslaw that I had and used whole wheat sandwich rolls instead of the recommended bread but it was still good.
My kids love this sandwich. They even like the coleslaw on it and normally they hate any kind of dressing. Made it as written except added celery seeds to the coleslaw. Four stars instead of 5 due to the use of bottled sauce - not very exciting!
I put cornstarch on my tofu before frying them to make it extra crispy.
