Ingredients: 1 pound extra-firm tofu; Nonstick cooking spray, for the rack; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 1/2 cup BBQ sauce plus 2 tablespoons more if needed, recipe follows (or use your favorite store brand); 2 tablespoons avocado, vegetable or olive oil; One 10-ounce package spiralized sweet potatoes noodles; 2 teaspoons grated garlic; 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; 1 teaspoon sesame oil; 3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 cup minced yellow onion; 2 cups ketchup; 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth; 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar; 1/4 cup dark brown sugar; 1/4 cup molasses; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1 tablespoon chili powder; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander

Directions

Drain the liquid from the tofu. Wrap the tofu in a kitchen towel and place a heavy-bottomed pot on top. Press out the remaining liquid at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit it with a rack. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Cut the tofu in half across the equator, then dice into 1-inch cubes. Put into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the BBQ sauce and toss to coat. Line the tofu on the rack in an even layer. Bake until the tofu is heated through and firms up slightly, about 20 minutes. If it looks like it’s drying out, baste with the remaining 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, toss to coat and cook for 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, toss to coat and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl, top with the tofu and garnish with scallions.
