Preparation

Step 1

Drain tofu, and slice into strips. Place in a plastic bag or container, and freeze overnight. This will give the tofu a meatier texture. Thaw tofu strips, and blot with paper towels to dry.

(*Note: step one can be omitted if you have extra firm tofu or a tofu 'cutlet.')

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce.

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.

Dip the tofu slices into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.

Fry in the hot oil for about 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Just fry enough at one time so they are not crowded. Remove from the oil to paper towels to drain and cool.

Preheat the oven's broiler or prepare grill. Brush tofu slices with additional BBQ sauce, and allow to marinate while the broiler or grill heats up.

Arrange tofu on a broiler pan (or wire rack set over a cookie sheet) or directly on the grill for best results. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Broil or grill for 5 minutes on each side, or until browned and crisp, watching closely so as not to burn them. Serve warm with the remaining barbeque sauce for dipping.
