Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 14 oz Extra firm tofu, pressed and sliced
  • 4 pieces French baguettes, 8-inch
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 cup Pickled carrots and daikon (Do Chua)
  • 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch Fresh cilantro sprigs
  • 1 large Jalapeño, thinly sliced(optional)
  • 1/2 cup Vegetarian mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1/2-inch thick rectangles.

  2. 2

    Whisk the mayonnaise and sriracha together in a small bowl and set aside.

  3. 3

    Dredge each tofu slice in cornstarch, shaking off the excess for a light coating.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and fry tofu until golden and crispy on both sides.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the soy sauce over the crispy tofu in the pan at the last second to glaze them quickly, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Slice the baguettes lengthwise and toast them in the oven until the crust is warm and crispy.

  7. 7

    Spread a generous layer of spicy mayo on both sides of the bread.

  8. 8

    Layer the crispy tofu, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, jalapeños, and cilantro into the baguettes and serve immediately.
