How to Prepare Picnic Perfect Crispy Tofu Sandwiches [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Drain the tofu well by wrapping it in a paper towel and placing it under a heavy weight so the paper towel can absorb extra water from the tofu. Cut into 5inch thick rectangles.
To prepare the marinade, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, sweet chili sauce, maple syrup & sesame seeds in a bowl and whisk well.
Add tofu into the bowl, ‘coat’ it with marinade, cover, and place in the fridge for 10mins.
In the meantime, prepare the avocado ‘mayo’. Mash up the avocado with a fork, add the lime juice, salt & pepper and a pinch of chili flakes (if using), cover with cling film and set aside for later.
Heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan. When the pan is very hot, gently place the tofu blocks into the pan & drizzle with the remaining marinade. Fry on each side for a couple of minutes until it turns crispy brown. Gently transfer the tofu to a roasting dish and roast for 10mins.
To prepare the dipping sauce, whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
