Chili Garlic Tofu Summer Sandwich

Step 1

Make the marinade; in a large bowl add all the marinade ingredients and mix well.

Step 2

Press and mix the miso on the edges of the bowl so that it mixes in.

Step 3

Once everything is mixed in, add the sliced and pressed tofu and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the tofu from the marinade and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush some more marinade sauce on top of the tofu slices and bake it at 400ºF  for 20-30 minutes or until the marinade has dried up and the tofu is crisp.

Step 5

Remove the tofu from the oven and set it aside.

Step 6

Meanwhile, mix the cucumber, onion, and carrots in the remaining marinade and toss well to coat.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwich; you can use fresh or toasted bread. Add a layer of lettuce to the sandwich then top it with tofu slices. Add the marinated cucumber, onion, and carrots (fish them out and place on on top of the tofu slices.)

Step 8

Add some cilantro, green onion, and a dash of black pepper. Drizzle the remaining marinade all over, and top it with the other bread slice. Slice and serve.
