  • Vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup barbecue sauce, sweet-and-sour sauce, salsa or ketchup

    In 10-inch skillet, heat oil (1/2 inch) over medium-high heat. Cook 15 nuggets at a time in oil about 1 minute, turning once, until golden brown. Drain nuggets on paper towels. Serve hot with barbecue sauce.

  • Extra-firm tofu holds up to frying and gives these golden brown nuggets a slightly chewy texture.
