3 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Add minced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and barbeque sauce. Bring to a simmer, then turn heat to low and keep warm until the tofu is ready.
