If you want tofu to take on the texture of meat you can cut extra firm into manageable or portion sized pieces. wrap each piece in plastic wrap and store all in a freezer bag and freeze. you can freeze for up to 6 months
When you are ready to use take out of the freezer and thaw. The tofu will appear spongy, gently squeeze water out and then use in your favorite recipe (including Tofu with hot chipotle Barbecue Sauce)
After freezing the tofu takes on the consistency of meat.

I slice my extra-firm tofu into thin slices. On a baking sheet, I smear with soy sauce, sprinkle granulated garlic, smoked paprika and cayenne and bake in my toaster oven (at 450) for @ 15 minutes. The slices are chewy, spicy and delish. And no added oil. I use them for sandwiches, snacks, in stir-fry and in salads.

Easy to throw together and delicious on grilled tofu. Used firm tofu and grilled it-brushed the sauce on just after the tofu came off the grill The adobo flavor really comes through and the sauce has a nice kick which can be tamed by adjusting the other ingredients slightly if you find it too hot. We liked it as written.

I think most people's problem with tofu is the texture. If you *press* and drain out as much of the liquid as possible, you get a much meatier texture, and it absorbs more flavor from the marinade or sauce. I've been making something similar to this for years, but use my own barbecue sauce, and bake it in the oven or toaster oven. http://flamingomusings.com/2014/08/baked-barbecued-tofu.html Hey, it might be raining!

good on tempeh

Added a chopped serrano chili to balance out the sweetness.

I didn't like this much at all. It is really simple to make, so that was nice, but I thought the ketchup flavor overwhelmed it. I ended up using 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce to balance it out, but I still thought it lacked complexity. Unless I'm in a giant time crunch, I won't make this again.

This was very bland. It mostly tasted of ketchup. You can just make your own barbeque sauce as you normally would or buy one from the store that will have more depth of flavor than this. I added double the amount of adobo sauce. I made a lot of spice additions to make it taste like something other than ketchup.

Good recipe and makes a great companion with potato and red cabbage salad. Yummy!
Sam
This was a very tasty sauce. I decided to marinate firm Tofu in the sauce for a few minutes, then sautéed the saucy tofu on high heat. I took it off the heat as soon as it was getting thicker and sticky. I served with a salad of lettuce and sliced cucumber, dressed with sesame oil mixed with rice vinegar.

Can I use coconut sugar instead of dark or light sugar?

I'm assuming that the nutritional tally for this dish includes the tofu? (Although it is not included in the dish...) I'm assuming that a set amount of tofu should be included in this recipe, if so.

No. Peanut and olive oils contain 120 calories per tablespoon. Ketchup about 20 calories per tablespoon. So that's 320 calories. The intro says it's enough marinade for a pound of tofu.
Joan
I used two packs of sucralose instead of the sugar and red hot sauce instead of the adobo. It was exceptional!

I'm assuming that the nutritional information includes the tofu? Also, if you don't want to grill it, can you bake it?
Nhu Nguyen
I don't know about baking, but I know you can deep fry them. You can mix soy sauce + lemon juice + pepper (chili) +a tiny bit sugar. It's good :)

I get 'Firm' tofu and it's fine. I like it and prefer a not-meaty texture. I actually hate the texture of meat, that's why I've been a vegetarian for 40 years.
But on to the recipe. I found it bland and I even chopped up one of the chipotles to go in it. Next time I'll leave out the ketchup, add in more chipotle and maybe some ginger. Extra soy sauce. It's got promise but didn't have the kick I expected.

Your preparation reminds me of Koya Tofu!

I freeze all my tofu, as is, in the container they come in as soon as I buy them. When I put away the groceries, the tofu goes straight into the freezer. I like how the texture is like a deep fried version without the mess or caloric intake.

This is delicious. Be sure to do research on how to grill tofu. It is not like grilling steak. I added the serrano chile. A great appetizer!

Exactly! I have been making my own pressed, marinated, baked tofu for 30 years, it has great texture and absorbs whatever flavors you like. This is very different than freezing, which yields a spongy texture that is good for use in soup with a nice broth.

Thank you for showing me how to bar b que tofu in oven. Works great!
