Tofu Bánh mì

marinated tofu, pickled veggies, crusty bread

A plant-based take on the iconic Vietnamese street food classic. Slices of savory marinated tofu are tucked into a crusty baguette with crisp radish and a kick of fresh jalapeño. Finished with a swipe of creamy mayo, bright cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, this sandwich is a masterclass in the balance of crunchy, spicy, and zesty flavors.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Pickle the vegetables

Whisk vinegar, sugar, ½ tsp salt, and ⅓ cup water in small bowl. Transfer 3 tbsp of pickling liquid to medium bowl, set aside. Add radishes and cucumber to remaining pickling liquid. Cover and refrigerate.

2
Marinate the tofu

Combine tofu, lime zest, and just a large pinch cilantro, to reserved pickling liquid. Turn tofu in liquid to coat; set aside.

3
Sear the tofu

Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu, searing until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, per side.

4
Assemble and serve

Drain pickles. Spread mayo on top and bottom halves of toasted ciabatta. Place bottom half on each plate. Divide tofu, pickled veggies, as much jalapeño as you'd like, and remaining cilantro. Top with remaining bun and serve with lime wedge. Enjoy! (TIP: Always wash your hands and cutting board thoroughly after working with spicy peppers, and consider wearing rubber gloves when working with them to avoid skin irritation.)
