Buffalo Tofu Sandwiches image

I try to eat vegetarian but love hot wings. Then, I tried this sandwich at a restaurant in Denver and knew that I had found my fix. After some trial and error, I came up with this recipe. I like to put a little mayo on my buns. Also, I like to use low-fat substitutes, but of course full-fat originals can also be enjoyed. Serve 2 slices to a bun.

Time P1DT13h1m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) container tofu, frozen for at least 36 hours
⅔ cup cornflake crumbs
⅓ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters®)
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons buttery spread (such as Smart Balance®)
3 tablespoons hot sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place tofu in a microwave-safe bowl; heat on defrost setting for about 10 minutes. Cut into 4 slices no more than 1/2-inch thick each.
  • Arrange tofu slices side-by-side on paper towel-lined cutting board. Wrap paper towel around the tofu. Place a plate on top; set a 3- to 5-pound weight on the plate (a container filled with water works well). Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Mix corn flakes and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Place flour and egg substitute in 2 separate bowls.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the tofu slices in the flour, the egg substitute, and then the corn flake mixture; immediately place slices in the skillet. Cook until crisp and lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Pour out excess oil and crumbs from the skillet.
  • Melt buttery spread in the skillet over low heat. Turn off the heat and mix in the hot sauce. Dip tofu in the sauce briefly until coated on both sides.
