Ingredients
1 pkg. | Sunrise Smoked Tofu Sriracha |
1 Tbsp | vegetable pol |
1 | fresh baguette , sliced into sandwich sized portions |
4 Tbsp | mayonnaise |
1 Tbsp | Sriracha sauce |
3-4 | springs of cilantro per sandwich |
Pickled Vegetables
1 | small daikon , julienned |
2 | small carrots , julienned |
½ | small cucumber , de-seeded & julienned |
¼ cup | white wine vinegar |
¼ cup | rice vinegar |
1 tsp | sugar |
1 tsp | salt |
Tofu Marinade
1 Tbsp | |
2 Tbsp | |
½ | lime , juiced |
1 | clove garlic , minced |
½ tsp | ginger , minced |
Directions
- Place daikon, carrots and cucumbers in a medium jar with white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, sugar and salt. If the liquids don’t cover the veggies, add 2 Tbsp of water and more vinegar if necessary (the amount you need will depend on the size of your jar). Let chill for at least 1 hour, or store in the fridge for at least a week.
- Slice the tofu into approx. ½” thick slices. Place on a towel and gently pat dry to remove excess water. In a small bowl, whisk together tofu marinade ingredients.
- Place tofu in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over top. Let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the tofu pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are deeply golden brown and caramelized around the edges. Remove pan from heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce to create Sriracha mayo. Assemble sandwiches with Sriracha mayo followed by seared tofu slices, pickled veggies, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
