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 corn starch before frying.
Add a few tablespoons of the hot sauce mixture after you've browned it so that it will cook onto 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.
