Yield 3 or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound block extra-firm tofu, drained
2 generous tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 generous tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons shoyu (depending upon desired saltiness)
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and pushed through a press
2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses
2 teaspoons toasted Asian sesame oil
1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo OR
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chili (see note) or cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound block extra-firm tofu, drained
2 generous tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 generous tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons shoyu (depending upon desired saltiness)
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and pushed through a press
2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses
2 teaspoons toasted Asian sesame oil
1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo OR
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chili (see note) or cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wrap the tofu in several layers of a clean, absorbent kitchen towel and set a l-pound bag of dried beans on top. Set the tofu aside until you are ready to slice it. Line a broiling pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside. Place the oven rack about 5 inches from the broiling element, and turn on the broiler. In a pie plate or large, shallow bowl, prepare the barbecue sauce by blending together the remaining ingredients. Unwrap the tofu and set the block on a cutting board with the longer side facing you. Cut the block crosswise into 9 slices, each slightly less than 1/2-inch thick. Dip the slices into the sauce to coat both sides heavily. Arrange the slices on the broiling pan as you work. (Reserve any remaining sauce.) Broil the tofu until flecked with dark brown spots, 4 to 6 minutes. (If your broiler cooks unevenly, rotate the broiling pan halfway through.) Turn the tofu over with a spatula and slather any remaining sauce on the second side with a pastry brush or knife. Broil until deeply browned on the second side, 4 to 6 more minutes. Serve with the darker side up.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tofu. I always have a block of tofu in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tofu turned out really dry. I'll have to try this recipe again.

The tofu didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked, but the flavor was still great.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

This tofu dish was a hit with my family! The smoky, slightly sweet flavor was a perfect combination, and the tofu was cooked to perfection.
