Tried another recipe over the weekend from my PlantPure Nation cookbook, buffalo tofu hoagies, and they turned out really good, I must say. The idea is you drain and slice a block of tofu, then you cover the slices in spicy buffalo sauce, and bake them until the edges are crisp. Slap them on a hoagies roll with some strir-fried mushrooms and peppers, and a few tomato slices, and voila!
The one gotcha in all this is that I'm not a huge fan of tofu (it's a texture thing). And although the Campbell clan would probably be disappointed, I covered the tofu slices in cheese (because let's face it, the "no cheese and eggs" rule is really what prevents me from going totally vegan). But I have to say that despite (or because of) the cheese, the sandwich turned out divine, more like a Philly Cheese Tofu Steak. I will totally make it again, although next time I might just try stir-frying the tofu slices instead.
