3

tablespoons all-purpose flour

6

tablespoons cold water

2/3

cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs

1

teaspoon salt

Dash of ground red pepper (cayenne)

1

package (12 oz) extra-firm tofu packed in water, drained, cut into 1-inch cubes

Vegetable oil

2/3

cup barbecue sauce, sweet-and-sour sauce, salsa or ketchup

In small bowl, beat flour and water with wire whisk or hand beater until smooth. In shallow dish or pie plate, toss bread crumbs, salt and red pepper.

Dip tofu cubes into batter, then roll in bread crumb mixture to coat.
