Tofu Lettuce Tomato Sandwich.
Ingredients.
1 block extra firm tofu
2 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp vegan sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp nutritional yeast
freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 large tomatoes
fresh lettuce
4 to 8 slices of your favorite bread
basil, hing, oregano.
Preparation.
Drain the block of tofu wrapped in a few paper towels (15 min or so)
Slice the tofu into 8 slices
Whisk the vegan sauce , yeast, and black pepper together - add a little water if it's too thick to pour.
Put the tofu slices into a large ziplock bag or flat baking dish and pour the marinade over the top - distribute the marinade onto all sides of the tofu Let the tofu marinate for at least 15 min (you can freeze it at this point and pull out pieces as you need them anytime - it also makes the texture meatier and chewier) Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking oil. Fry the tofu slices until lightly browned - flip and brown the other side (about 3 min per side - turn up the heat and use more oil if you want it to be crispier) Meanwhile, toast the bread - use 1 slice per person for an open-faced sandwich ; use 2 slices per person for a two-fister. When the bread is toasted, add 2 or more slices of tofu, tomato and lettuce.Option: I like to sprinkle some basil, hing, oregano on the tomatoes, spray them lightly with cooking oil and fry them gently while frying the tofu.
