Mix together:
6 Tlbs peanut butter
2/3 cup oil
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Whip (mix) until smooth and pour over tofu strips, mix (squeeze) in as evenly as possible. Marinate 1 hour while preparing sauce below. After tofu has marinated, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Scrape into BBQ sauce and simmer together for 20 more min.
Add frozen corn and rice 1-2 cups each to make a complete meal.
