I cut up some extra firm Mori Nu lite tofu into small cubes (extra firm is
carried by Kroger! yay!) and heated them up with a little olive oil in the
pan, set them aside, then I cooked together some chopped onions (a cup or
so) half a bottle of classico spaghetti sauce, with a squirt of BBQ sauce. I
simmered that together until the onions were cooked and then put the tofu
into it and let it sit that way for a while so the tofu would marinate. Then
I brought it back to a boil and let it boil for about 5 minutes stirring it
so it wouldn't stick too badly to the pot.

That made awesome sloppy joes too.

Thats' very similar to a BBQ tofu recipe I used to do.

Saute an onion and garlic (and perhaps a jalapeno or two) in a pan
with a dash of oil. When the onions are soft, add cubed tofu and saute
until the tofu gets brown around the edges. Add a half a cup or more
of BBQ sauce, bring to a simmer and serve over open buns.
