Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · mixing bowls · oven mitts · stirring spoon · toaster (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan ready for the tofu.
- Grate the tofu coarsely, transfer it to the pan, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with the listed spices; toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
- Roast the tofu in the oven, stirring halfway, until it looks golden and just a bit dry, about 20 minutes; remove from heat.
- While the tofu roasts, wash and dry the cabbage, radishes, celery, and chives.
- Juice the lime into a medium bowl, then whisk in the yogurt, mayonnaise, and the spices to form a tangy dressing.
- Cut the cabbage into thin shreds and place them in the dressing bowl; add the radishes and celery, tossing to coat and combine.
- Fold in the chopped chives and lime zest (if using), then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the tofu is ready, toss it with the prepared BBQ sauce and keep warm while you toast the buns if desired, then assemble: bottom bun, a generous pile of BBQ tofu, and a helping of the slaw; cap with the top bun and serve remaining slaw on the side.
Two tips
- Make ahead: refrigerate the slaw up to 1 day before serving and toss again before assembly.
- Swap: use any similar neutral yogurt and a squeeze of lime to adjust tang if you prefer lighter flavor.
