It seems like no matter who you talk to, everyone has an opinion on tofu (and most aren’t great). Tofu has a reputation for being soggy, flavorless, and boring. This shredded BBQ tofu elevates an otherwise bland ingredient to a delicious, protein-packed main dish!
One of the great things about tofu is that it is like an edible sponge. Although it doesn’t bring a lot of its own flavor, it very easily absorbs any flavor you add to it, making it the perfect vessel for BBQ sauce.
Tofu has about 9 grams of protein per serving and is a great substitute if you’re trying to reduce your meat consumption or if you just want to try something new.
The shredding step in this recipe allows for even cooking and gives a texture reminiscent of pulled pork. Often tofu is diced or cooked in large shapes, leaving a crunchy exterior and gooey soft, flavorless interior. The shredding in this recipe, allows the entire piece of shredded tofu to get evenly cooked and coated with sauce and spices!
If you’ve been hesitant to pick up that tofu at the grocery store or just disappointed by countless attempts to make this protein taste good, we urge you to shred, shred, shred! You won’t eat tofu any other way. If BBQ sauce isn’t your thing, you could use teriyaki or even marinara to suit your preference. Enjoy!
