Ingredients

  • Extra-Firm Tofu: 1 block (14 oz), pressed and sliced
  • Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Maple Syrup: 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Smoked Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon

  • Lettuce Leaves: 1 cup
  • Tomato: 1 medium, sliced
  • Red Onion: 1/4, thinly sliced
  • Avocado: 1/2, sliced
  • Vegan Mayo or Hummus: 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Slice tofu into 1/4-inch thick slabs and toss in the marinade. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add a drizzle of oil to your skillet. Once hot, place tofu slices in a single layer.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Cook tofu for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Toast your bread slices in the same pan or toaster for extra crunch.
  6. Finishing Touches: Spread vegan mayo or hummus on each slice of bread. Layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and crispy tofu.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Close the sandwich, slice in half if desired, and serve warm or at room temp.

Notes

  • Press tofu thoroughly for best texture.
  • Let tofu marinate for deeper flavor.
  • Toast bread to prevent sogginess and add crunch.
