Sometimes I crave the flavor of a certain food, though not necessarily all that goes with it. Like sometimes when I'm watching football, I really crave the spiciness of Buffalo wings, but not necessarily the wings. So I made some Buffalo Tofu. I cut a pound of some pressed firm tofu into sticks and panfried them to give them a little "bite".
Then I heated up half a cup of Frank's Hot Sauce, a tablespoon of margarine, and 1/4 tsp of garlic powder just until it was warm and blended. Them I tossed the tofu sticks:
Whipped up a simple vegan ranch sauce with 1/4 cup vegan mayo, 1 tsp of dried parsley, 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp of onion powder, and about 1 TBSP of rice milk to thin it into a sauce (add more if necessary).
Hits the spicy spot!
