Ingredients
FOR THE TOFU
- 1 block of extra firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic about 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons neutral flavor oil
SALAD
- 1/4 green or purple cabbage about 2 cups
- 1 carrot cut into strips
- 1 medium seedless cucumber
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For assembling the sandwich
- 3 scallions tail onions
- *1/2 optional serrano chili without seeds and without veins
- a handful of cilantro
- 4 individual baguettes
- Mayonnaise
- sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Open the package of tofu and drain the water as much as possible. Squeeze it out very carefully so you don't mess it up. Leave it in a colander or on paper towels so that the liquid continues to drain.
- To prepare the dressing to marinate the tofu, mix the ginger, the garlic, the tamari or soy sauce, the lemon juice, the rice vinegar, the sesame oil, the tablespoon of maple syrup and the oil.
- Cut the tofu into strips of 2cm by 2cm or so, put them on a shallow plate and pour the dressing on top. Set them aside for about 15-20 minutes so that the tofu is well impregnated.
- Start preparing the salad. Cut all the vegetables as thin as you can. Put them in a salad bowl and add the salt. Set them aside until before you use them, leave the cilantro for last.
- Heat a pan that does not stick and put the tofu for about 10-15 minutes on each side to brown.
- While you seal the tofu, prepare the bread, put mayonnaise on one side and siracha sauce on the other. The siracha sauce is spicy, add a little.
- Finish the salad by adding the vinegar, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and the cilantro, mix well.
PREPARE THE SANDWICH
- When the tofu slices are golden on all sides, put one or two on the bread, a handful of salad on top and finish with slices of serrano pepper, cilantro and chives.
Notes
Use very fresh bread. Look for good bread, that has nothing but flour, yeast, water and salt.
I use homemade mayonnaise or Vegenaise.
If you use store-bought sriracha sauce, check the labels to make it vegan.
