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

  1. 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. 
  2. 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. 
  3. Place tofu in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over top. Let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes. 
  4. 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.   
  5. 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.
