Maple Barbeque Tofu

A few weeks ago I installed the Canadian Living app on my iPod, hoping it would provide some good recipe ideas. To my surprise, I have been bookmarking just about every recipe of the day. Today's recipe is based on a pork recipe, and it caught my interest because it used maple syrup. I was a little disappointed that the maple syrup flavour did not come through in the end--it would be cheaper and just as tasty to use brown sugar. This is very simple and very tasty.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 pkg of extra firm tofu, cut into triangles

- oil

- 1/2 cup chili sauce

- 1/4 cup maple syrup, or packed brown sugar

- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

- 1/4 tsp chili powder

METHOD

1. Heat thin layer of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pan fry tofu about 5 mins per side, until golden.

2. While tofu is cooking, whisk together remaining ingredients. When tofu is done, add sauce to the pan and bring to bubbling. Cook for about another 5 mins, until sauce has thickened and coats the tofu.
