INGREDIENTS:
- Frank’s Red Original Cayenne Sauce – 1/4 cup
- Olive Oil – 1.5 tbsp
- Garlic Powder – 1/4 tsp
- McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning – 2 tsp
- Water – 1 tbsp
- Crushed Red Pepper – 1 tsp
- Tofu – 14 oz package (cut into 8-9 rectangular slices)
- Mango Powder (Amchoor) – sprinkle on top
- Fresh Coriander Leaves – for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a bowl, add Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.
2. Add olive oil.
3. Add garlic powder.
4. Add Montreal chicken seasoning.
5. Add water.
6. Add crushed red pepper. Whisk all ingredients together.
8. Marinate the tofu in the hot sauce for about 5 minutes.
9. Heat a pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add all the tofu pieces. You don’t need to add oil since we already added it to the hot sauce.
10. Once the tofu is golden brown, gently flip it over. This will take about 3-5 minutes on each side.
11. Add the left over marinade during the final cooking process. Cook for a couple more minutes and turn off the stove.
12. Sprinkle mango powder on top and garnish with cilantro.
@Jeel. I did not squeeze the extra water, but you can. I'm sure it will help speed up the process. 🙂
before marinating the tofu, do you have to first squeeze the tofu to take the extra water out?
Wow! The Frank’s Red Hot Sauce definitely has a kick to it. I was only able to find the "extra hot", and I think my mouth was on fire when tasting the tofu, next time I'll have to try it with the "original" (as you suggested). But a nice combination of flavors in this recipe! And how did you get the charcoaled Cajun look on the tofu without burning them?
This looks and sound good!!! It will be my dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing!!
I tried this recipe a while ago, it turned out great. Although, I must say, you have to eat it right away, if you leave it for a little bit to eat later, the tofu turns soft and its not as tasty. (Maybe, I used the wrong tofu or didn't cook it thoroughly) but over all great dish if you want to make it and serve it right away.

Amazing recipe…It was hit at a party and it is so easy to make. Thank you.
