Vegan Buffalo Baked Tofu with Broccoli
When I was younger I used to love going to Whole Foods with my mom because we would always get lunch in the prepared foods section. One of my favorite things there was their buffalo tofu! At the time I did not know how to cook for myself so it was a special treat. This Vegan Buffalo Baked Tofu with Broccoli is a copycat version of my beloved Whole Foods buffalo tofu.

Made this buffalo tofu and added it to some rice and veggies.
It was delish! Definitely going to eat it again with sweet potato fries. Never tried the combo of hot sauce and tahini before, but damn, so good!
