I had a craving for a BBQ sandwich, so I found a recipe on http://www.allrecipes.com. I took the first reviewers advice and treated the tofu a little differently. She said to press all the water out of it (with paper towels and a weight), then to cut it into triangles and freeze it for an hour. I was worried that it was too frozen, but it turned out ok. I think next time I will use a different BBQ sauce (I used a Heinz bottled kind), and may take Toby’s helpful advice to marinate it beforehand (I suggested BBQ sauce, he said malt vinegar). I used really good kaiser rolls for this, and toasted them a little beforehand. I made a coleslaw that I put on the sandwich. That made it really good as well. I served this BBQ sandwich with potato chips, baked beans, and a caesar salad.
