BUFFALO TOFU SANDWICH



Buffalo Tofu Sandwich image

Random experiment while I was on vacation that came out great. All my meat eating friends wanted to try my "weird tofu sandwich" and since we got back 3 out of 5 have asked me to make it for them again. This is also how I introduced my Dad to tofu. He still makes fun of me, but not as bad. When I make this for others I like to serve it with a side of blue cheese dressing and either a pickle or celery which adds a nice touch.

VEGAN BUFFALO TOFU SANDWICH RECIPE



Vegan Buffalo Tofu Sandwich Recipe image

An easy recipe for delicious Buffalo Tofu Sandwich made with Frank's Red Hot Original sauce and vegan blue cheese dressing. An easy vegan lunch recipe.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 block extra firm tofu (14-16 oz), pressed and drained
1/4 c cornstarch
1/4 c Frank's Red Hot Sauce Original, not the Wings sauce
High-heat oil avocado oil works well, as needed for frying the tofu
3-4 sandwich rolls
Vegan Bleu Cheese dressing Follow Your Heart is my favorite, to taste
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Red onion rings
Avocado pieces (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice a pressed and drained block of tofu crosswise into 1/4-inch rectangles. You'll get 12-14 pieces.
  • Put cornstarch into a shallow dish. Cover each tofu piece generously with cornstarch on all sides.
  • Heat 2-3 Tbsp oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Place a few tofu pieces in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. (I usually do this in 2 batches.) Cook tofu on medium heat for 3-4 min until slightly golden, then flip and cook another 3-4 min. Put cooked tofu on a plate and set aside.
  • Put Frank's Red Hot Sauce into a small bowl. Place each piece of cooked tofu into the sauce, covering it well on each side.
  • Place 3-4 Buffalo Tofu slices on the bottom half of the sandwich roll. Spread 1-2 Tbsp Bleu Cheese Sauce on the top half. Put any veggies you like in sandwiches (I like lettuce, tomato, red onion and avocado) on top of the tofu and close the sandwich with the top part. Enjoy!
