- The tofu fell apart on the grill.
- The tofu wasn't firm enough, or stuck to the rack. Oil the rack and wait until a crust cooks onto it before turning!
Sticky BBQ grilled tofu wraps
Tofu is boring to many, but only because they haven't treated it well. Tofu is a sponge: if you press the water out of it, it is capable of absorbing the characterful, smoky BBQ marinade. When grilled, the sugary sauce caramelises on its surface, creating a crisp, sticky crust. Wrapped up with fresh vegetables, it's a complete taste experience.

Instructions
1
✓
Wrap the tofu in a tea towel/kitchen paper and place a weight on it for 15 minutes (pressing). Cut into 1 cm slices.
Tip: Removing water makes room for the marinade and helps it cook crispy.
2
✓
Mix the BBQ sauce with the smoked paprika. Brush the tofu slices with it.
Tip: Smoked paprika deepens the BBQ flavour.
3
✓
Cook the tofu in a hot, oiled griddle pan for 3-4 minutes per side until black grill marks appear on it. Cut into strips.
Tip: The sugar in the sauce burns quickly, don't leave it unattended!
4
✓
Warm the tortillas through (so they don't break). Spread with mayonnaise.
Tip: The fat (mayonnaise) protects the dough from getting soggy.
5
✓
Fill with lettuce, sliced onion, pepper and the tofu. Sprinkle with coriander, roll up.
Tip: The crunch of fresh vegetables is needed next to the soft tofu.
