If possible, start the tofu two days prior to serving. Press it for one day and marinate it for one day for the richest, spiciest flavor.

Serve with celery sticks and ranch dressing.

Buy the firmest tofu you can get. I use Trader Joe’s super-firm high-protein (organic, non-GMO) tofu. Minimum pressing time is one hour; minimum marinating time is four hours.

Traditional buffalo wings (from Buffalo, New York) use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce, but you can use TABASCO, Tapatio, or any other thin hot pepper sauce. I used Tapatio. Since this provides the heat in this dish, choose your sauce wisely. Overseas readers, you are looking for a thin salsa or sauce made from cayenne peppers, vinegar, and spices. If you want a thick dip, use the smaller amount of soy milk. If you want more of a pourable dressing, use the larger amount.
