Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve jalapeño lengthwise and remove ribs and seeds for less heat, then thinly slice into half-moons. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime (for 4, zest one lime; quarter both). Peel and mince or grate garlic.

Roast Potatoes
2
  • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Make Pickles & Sauces
3
  • Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine jalapeño, sliced onion, juice from half the lime, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Microwave until bright pink, 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, ketchup, stock concentrate, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4), and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4).

  • In a third small bowl, combine garlic, mayonnaise, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4), a pinch of lime zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Start Tofu
4
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick planks. On a plate, combine cornstarch and Fry Seasoning. Press tofu into cornstarch mixture until evenly coated; season generously with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add coated tofu and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. (You may need to work in batches for 4 servings.)

Finish Tofu
5
  • Add BBQ sauce mixture to pan with tofu. Cook, stirring, until tofu is coated and sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes.

  • Remove pan from heat; sprinkle pepper jack over tofu and cover pan. Set aside until ready to serve.

Toast Buns & Assemble
6
  • Halve ciabattas and toast until golden brown. TIP: For extra richness, brush cut sides with melted butter before toasting. Use a toaster oven, or toast ciabattas directly on oven rack.

  • Fill ciabattas with cheesy BBQ tofu (spoon any remaining sauce from pan over top) and as much pickled jalapeño and onion (draining first) as you like.

Serve
7
  • Divide tofu subs between plates. Serve with potato wedges and garlic-lime mayo for dipping.
