This recipe is for those people who have always complained about tofu’s bland flavors and prefer to stay away from it. Though true to some extent, tofu can taste really delicious when paired with right ingredients; just like this veganised version of Sloppy Joes. The spicy, saucy flavors are born out of its messiness – the sloppier, the better! Give my family a plate of Sloppy Joes and we’ll clean it up in minutes…
