Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Coat the Tofu

    In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tofu

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Vinegar Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrot, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Special Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic powder, and paprika together until well combined.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Topher Boy

    On a serving plate, layer the crispy fried tofu, bourbon BBQ sauce, vinegar slaw, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Drizzle with the special sauce and serve.
