The superstar behind the Buffalo Tofu Sandwich. Slightly spicy... incredibly addicting.
Using only a few simple ingredients and a relatively straightforward cooking process, we are happy to bring one of the most mouthwatering vegan treats to your very own kitchen: Park + Vine's Buffalo Tofu.
This was used for the Buffalo Tofu Sandwich, the Sami Salad (the most popular treat, seen above, for those who worked behind the counter. Secret details within the video below!), vegan ranch dippers, and more.
For an insanely amazing recipe, mix some of the buffalo sauce into our Mac’N Cheese recipe right before you are about to bake! Also, if you don’t like the “skin” that the potato starch creates, you can try using potato flour instead. Finally, you may want to double this recipe, as it is extremely likely 8 strips will be gone before you know it.
Learn How to Make Buffalo Tofu
Press water from tofu
Cut the block to end up with 8 equally sized strips
Add ample potato starch to plastic bowl or tray
Cover strips with potato starch until completely coated
Toss in your hands to knock off extra starch, leaving one even layer
Heat a grill or flat skillet to high heat
Add tofu strips to the hot grill with ample olive oil
Slide the strips around to create an even layer of oil
Cook until GOLDEN and CRISP
They should be slightly hard to the touch
Flip and repeat the process
This takes longer than one might expect, so be patient for the best outcome
Each side typically needs a minimum of 10 minutes
Preheat your oven to 450F
Prepare the buffalo sauce in a cup or bowl
Mix all sauce ingredients well
Once both sides of the tofu are well crisped, move them to a glass baking dish
Cover the crispy tofu with 3/4 of the prepared buffalo sauce
Turn and mix strips to make sure each is completely covered on all sides
Add the rest of the sauce on top of the strips and spread across
Do not mix further
Bake at 450F for 8 minutes
Let sit and cool for 5-10 minutes
Takes buffalo strips out of the baking dish and let cool further before storing
Or, enjoy right away!
Simply reheat the strip in a skillet or grill if they have been refrigerated
Store the leftover potato starch back in a ziplock bag for next time!
