Equipment

  • 1 Frying Pan

Ingredients

Teriyaki Tofu

  • 200 g firm tofu (1 block)
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Sandwich

  • Lettuce
  • Sliced Tomatoes
  • Thinly Chopped Carrots
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • Vegan Mayo

Instructions

  • Cut tofu into long, rectangular blocks. Mix together corn starch, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
  • Coat tofu slices in corn flour mixture and pan fry until crispy (I used about 1 tbsp olive oil)
  • Mix the marinade ingredients - light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup and sesame oil. Pour over the tofu in the pan and give it a good mix. Take off heat immediately afterwards.
  • You can mix in some toasted sesame seeds if you're using the tofu for another dish.
  • Layer the sandwich with bread, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, tofu, toasted sesame seeds and vegan mayo in that order.
  • Cut the sandwich into half and it's ready to eat!

Notes

  1. The recipe is gluten free if you use gluten free bread and substitute the soy sauces for gluten free tamari.
  2. You can substitute rice wine vinegar with white vinegar or mirin. 
  3. This recipe will not work with soft or silken tofu, only firm tofu. You can freeze and thaw the tofu for an even firmer and chewier texture.
