    Instructions

    1. First, cook the hot sauce and vegan butter until the vegan butter is melted.
    2. Coat tofu in cornstarch and fry in oil until browned. Spread a few tablespoons of the hot sauce mixture on tofu and cook a few minutes more.
    3. Serve on a bun with lettuce, tomato, celery leaves, and vegan ranch dressing.

    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.
