Spicy, crispy, sweet BBQ delicious… tofu? Yup, that soft white soybean powerhouse that lands somewhere between egg white and cheese gets its due here, fried until the outside is perfectly crisp. But the thing to write home about this one is the spice: both the slaw with the green chili aioli and the crispy jalapeños at the end. You may not have thought of tofu as “flame” before, but you will after this meal.
