Some nights we just want that classic barbecue food – but without barbecuing. We give you: the BBQ tofu bowl. Filled with:
Crispy BBQ tofu
Brown rice
Baked beans – we used this kind!
Corn
Broccoli
& bell pepper
You’ll get all those classics without heating up the grill.
I mean, just look at this bowl.
And this tofu? It’s the tofu to end all tofus. It’s so simple to make, just a few ingredients, super crispy, and takes on any flavor you give it (recipe HERE) – this is where the barbecue sauce comes into play.
All of the flavors come perfectly together in this bowl – so go ahead, get in the kitchen!
