Tips

• When you cook the hot sauce and vegan butter, taste it to see if you want more vegan butter than what's listed.
• For crispy tofu, coat the tofu in cornstarch before frying.
• Add a few tablespoons of the hot sauce mixture after you've browned it so that it will cook on the tofu.
• Serve with vegan ranch dressing for dipping. This helps cool the palate from the spicy hot sauce and balances out the dish.
• Eat with celery sticks and cucumber to help cool the palate even more.

This vegan sandwich is an easy weeknight meal. It's perfect for game day!
