Instead of throwing out the adobo sauce that canned chipotle peppers are packed in, use it for this sauce. You can marinate the tofu in it for an extra-hot dish, or just brush it on cooked or uncooked tofu. This makes enough for a pound of tofu.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles
- 2 teaspoons light or dark brown sugar
- Salt to taste
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons unrefined peanut oil or extra virgin olive oil
