Ingredients
  • 350 g block extra firm tofu - shredded
  • 1.5 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp neutral flavour oil
    • BBQ lime sauce:
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Zest from one lime
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce (alternatively use regular soy sauce)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375F (180C).
  2. Use the large side of a cheese grater to grate the block of tofu into shreds. Add the shredded tofu, corn starch, soy sauce and oil in a bowl. Toss to coat then spread evenly on a parchment line baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 mins, mixing half way through until tofu is browned. For chewier shreds you will want to bake them a little longer (around 35 mins), or for more tender shreds bake them a little less.
  3. In a bowl combine all BBQ lime ingredients and mix well.
  4. Pour over roasted shredded tofu, toss to combine and spread evenly in a single layer on baking sheet, bake at 375F for another 10-15 mins or until sauce is soaked up in the tofu and you'll see some crispy bits.
  5. Top it on your favourite salad or in a sandwich with some vegan cheese and avocado slices!
