BARBECUE TOFU
As seen on KITV 4, by Dick Algire. This takes some time to do it right.
Prep it overnight and cook and eat it the next day. This is great served with brown rice and steamed vegetables. Or you can use it on sandwiches.

1 block firm tofu
Your favorite barbeque sauce (or char sui or teriyaki sauce)

1. Press tofu by draining the tofu and putting it on paper towels to soak the excess water. Then put a small cutting board on top, and place a 5 lb. weight ( small barbell) on top to press it down, and let it sit overnight in fridge.
2. Freeze the tofu. This is important, because it changes the texture. I put the block of pressed tofu in a zip lock freezer baggie and put it in the freezer overnight.
3. Thaw the tofu. I let it sit out for an hour on the kitchen counter.
4. Squeeze it again. At this point the tofu will be like a cold sponge. I squeezed it between my palms to drain even more water.
5. Slice the tofu into this strips –1/2 inch.
6. Now we’re ready to cook. Use a pastry brush to brush your favorite low fat barbecue sauce on the tofu strips. Broil it for 12-15 minutes, turning as each side browns.
