MARINADE: Cut tofu into 3/4 inch cubes and pat dry; place in a large bowl. Core

pepper and cut into 1 inch squares; add to bowl. Quartered onions vertically,

separate into sections; add to bowl. Combine the soy sauce and pil and pour over

the vegetables. With a rubber spatula, toss gently to coat. Let marinate for at

least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

 

SAUCE: Mix together all ingredients for the sauce. Let this sit for at least 30

minutes for the flavors to meld together.

 

Preheat oven to 450F.

 

Scrape the tofu and veggies into a 9x13 baking dish, or similar large, shallow

baking dish. ample enough to let everything rest in one layer. Bake for 15

minutes, tossing once with spatula.

 

Remove the baking dish from the oven. Spoon on the barbecue sauce and gently

toss to coat evenly. Return to the oven and bake 15 more minutes, or until

lightly browned. Let sit 10 minutes so it will be served warm, not hot. Serve

over rice and with your favorite bread or salad.

NOTES : The surprise ingredient in this barbecue sauce is a small amount of

peanut butter, which helps the sauce adhere to the tofu, making it crispy. This

treatment also works well on the grill. Cook the tofu and vegetables on skewers,

rotating occasionally until evenly browned. REVIEW - " Personal favorite of ours.

We use a pyrex tray and lower the oven to 400F. Variation: add an 8-oz. can of

sliced water chestnuts and 1/2 cup of fresh snow peas to the marinating mixture.

Adds a nice crunch! " -- http://members.tripod.com/ayla59/
