Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
black pepper, to taste
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted
4 pickles, slices
Directions:
1. Place onion in a small bowl, cover with cold water and set aside. Stand tofu on it's long narrow side. Cut lengthwise into 4 slabs, each about 1/2-inch thick, and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slabs. Cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add bbq sauce and carefully turn the tofu to coat with the sauce. Cover and cook 3 more minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine coleslaw, mayo, vinegar, garlic powder and pepper in a medium bowl. Drain the onion.
5. To assemble sandwiches, place about 1/3 cup coleslaw mixture on each bun and top with a tofu slab, pickle slice and a few onion slices. Spread any sauce remaining in the pan on the top bun.
