How to Make BBQ Tofu: Quick and Easy

A great advantage of this recipe: You can use the tofu from the package, no pressing necessary! Many tofu recipes call for the water to be squeezed out of the tofu for 30 minutes before the recipe is prepared. But if you’re like us, you don’t have another 30 minutes to waste. This BBQ Tofu recipe uses tofu right out of the box! Here are the basic steps (but scroll down for the full recipe!):

• Cut the tofu and wipe with a towel.
• Fry in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Add the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and chilli sauce and cook over low heat for another 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

That’s it! This is one of the quickest and easiest ways to flavor tofu irresistibly good.

Use a good BBQ sauce

We used an organic BBQ sauce for this BBQ Tofu recipe. Using a quality brand is essential as the taste of sauces can vary. Look for sauces sweetened with sugar or natural ingredients, not high fructose corn syrup. You can also use homemade barbecue sauce, like one of these recipes:

We also have mustard BBQ sauce and white BBQ sauce recipes, but they have a slightly different character, so we will not suggest them here.
