BBQ Tofu Sandwiches

This is the frozen tofu. I drained the water, wrapped it in saran wrap, put in a ziplock bag and froze it. Then defrost, squeeze out moisture, and slice.

This is a slice of tofu that had been frozen and thawed. Do you see how porous it is. In this state it is very meaty and absorbs the flavor of whatever you are marinading it with.

Then I layer it in the crockpot with your favorite bbq sauce. Start with bbq sauce on the bottom, a layer of tofu, more bbq sauce, and so on until the top- then make sure the whole lot of tofu is covered with sauce.

This is what it looks like. Then put the lid on- set to low if you are planning on having it for dinner (start in the morning) or on high if you want to have it for lunch.

This is what it looks like when it is done.

This is what the tofu looks like, see how it absorbed the flavor of the sauce? It is so good.

Here is the sandwich all assembled. I bit of vegenaise goes on the toasted whole wheat sourdough bread, top with tofu.. yum. I served with a side of spicy coleslaw. The younger kids like to eat the tofu plain- meaning no bread. Just cut up into chunks and they eat.. My daughter and I love these sandwiches. They are our favorite vegan sandwiches.. My husband who doesn’t like bbq sauce loved the texture of the tofu.
