   • Begin by cutting the tofu into 1/4 inch slices, taking care to cut across the short end of the block.
   • Drain the tofu slices on a dishcloth for approximately 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

2. Coat Tofu:

   • On a plate, combine the white flour, cornmeal, poultry seasoning, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper, creating a flavorful coating for the tofu.
   • Brush both sides of the drained tofu slices with prepared yellow mustard, ensuring they are evenly coated.
   • Roll the tofu slices in the cornmeal mixture until they are fully coated. Set aside for cooking.

3. Cook Tofu:

   • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
   • Carefully place four slices of tofu in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Cook the tofu slices, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
   • Keep the cooked tofu warm in a slow oven while you cook the remaining slices in the remaining oil.

4. Prepare Key West Barbecue Sauce:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, sugar, honey, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, chopped onion, and Worcestershire sauce.
