Ingredients

Buffalo Sauce*
  • 2/3 cup hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Tofu*

  • 1 block pressed* tofu, cut into 1/2 inch thick tofu
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients
  •  4 slices of bread (we used Dave’s Killer Bread
  • Butter or baby romaine lettuce (we used Pete’s Living Greens)
  • 4 slices of tomato
  • 4 thin slices of red onion
  • Homemade vegan ranch

Instructions

Buffalo Sauce

  1. In a medium pan over medium heat, add all ingredients and whisk together until combined.
  2. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat, and transfer to deep dish or container to cool.

Tofu

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place the tofu strips onto the lined baking sheet and sprinkle both sides with cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Once finished, carefully take the slices and submerge them in the buffalo sauce, being sure to fully coat both sides. Allow them to marinate as you make the rest of the sandwich.

Sandwich

  1. Toast both slices of bread and then coat each slice with the homemade ranch dressing on one side. On one slice, layer on half of the buffalo tofu, lettuce, tomato, and onions. Seal with the second slice of bread. Repeat with the second sandwich.
  2. Slice the sandwich down the middle and dig in!
