Barbequed Tofu

Tofu has come a long way! With the advent of firm tofu, a variety of tasty dishes can be made from this healthful food.

Tofu is bland so it is a perfect medium--it dresses up well with flavoring. It has a pleasing consistency, very much like chicken, and when prepared properly, can be delicious.

I served barbequed tofu at a dinner and my guests thought they were eating barbequed chicken. Everyone wanted the recipe.

-Barbequed Tofu-

• Barbequed tofu strips can be added to salad
• Eaten as a side dish
• Added to pita sandwiches
• Placed on a bun for bunwiches
• Added to lightly steamed vegetables

Barbequed tofu is crispy, appetizing, and makes a great low-fat alternative to meat.
