Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
- Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 1" pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, then add coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu, turning once or twice, until crispy around the edges and well browned, 20-25 minutes (the tofu will get crispier as it cools, so don't be tempted to take it too far and dry it out in the oven).
- Stir yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Assemble by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion, and a handful of mint.
ASIAN TOFU
This tasty Asian tofu was the first meatless recipe my fiance made for me. It's a wonderful light protein and is so easy to pair with broiled or grilled veggies such as eggplant, asparagus or even tomatoes. -Emily Steers, Los Angeles, California

Of course if you have a favorite sauce give that a try! Found on myrecipes web site

Steps:

- Prepare the marinade by mixing oil, broth, pesto, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
- cut the tofu into thin strips. Marinate the tofu for 1hr minimum, tossing a few times to make sure it is evenly distributed but being careful not to break pieces.
- meanwhile, combine cucumber, tomato, olive and feta in a bowl.
- Take the tofu out of the marinade (reserve marinade) and fry over very high heat in a non-stick skillet until darkly browned (very important that it is non-stick!). Turn off heat and immediately pour extra marinade over tofu. The pan will be very hot and the marinade should mostly cook off immediately,.

TOFU SALAD IN PITAS
This is going to be a very Middle Eastern/Indian taste. I made it omitting the nutritional yeast because I didn't realize I was out. It doesn't have to be in a Pita. I stuffed lettuce wraps with it for a fresh clean taste and I also tried it in Lavash bread. It worked well in both.

Steps:
- Mash tofu with fork. Note if you want to marinate it in a dressing or the like choose a pressable tofu and then after pressing marinate before this step.
- Stir in everything but the yogurt add the veggies after the others are well mixed.
- IF it is dry then stir in the yogurt to moisten and help hold it together. IF you are using Vegan, add a bit more Vegan mayo instead.
- Lightly toast the pitas halves in toaster or toaster oven. open the halves carefully into pockets then stuff.
- Use either the sprouts or lettuce or both. You may vary with other sprouts or veggies also.
- Note do NOT toast the Lavash or the lettuce leaves you use for wraps. The Lavash can be rolled, wrapped in plastic wrap, refrigerated over night then sliced into pinwheels.
- Lavash is also called cracker bread,lawaash, parak,Armenian cracker bread, lahvosh,lavosh, lawasha or naan-e-lavaash.
- My local Walmart Deli department sells it as Lavash.
