BBQ Tofu Ingredients

Method

BBQ Tofu Preparation

  1. 1

    Press the Tofu

    Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Tofu

    Cut the pressed tofu into slabs or cubes and place it in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tofu, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Steam the Tofu

    Set up a steamer pot with water and bring it to a simmer. Place the marinated tofu in the steamer basket and cover. Steam for about 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once steamed, remove the tofu from the steamer and serve it hot. You can drizzle additional BBQ sauce on top if desired.
