How to Prepare Tofu Banh Mi [Vegan]
- Pre-heat your oven to whatever temperature is recommended with your baguette if you're using a par-baked one (or just a low temperature if you want to heat an already baked baguette up)
- In a bowl, mix together the maple syrup, rice wine vinegar, tamari/soy, sriracha, garlic and ginger
- Add your tofu to the marinade, making sure all pieces get covered, and leave to sit for 10-15 minutes (if you're patient enough...however, if you're trying to keep it quick you can definitely just crack on)
- We're assuming your bread is going to take ~10mins to heat through (the par-baked baguettes we usually get take 8-10mins), so get them in the oven now - just keep an eye on them as you don't want dry banh mi!
- Get a frying pan on your hob over a medium-high heat and add a splash of oil
- Once the pan is nice and hot, add your tofu and cook on the first side for a couple of minutes (keep the marinade!)
- Just before flipping, add some of the leftover marinade to the top of the tofu, so that when you flip it the side that's about to hit the pan is covered
- Do this 2 more times (so each side of the tofu has been cooked twice, making sure to add more marinade before flipping each time) - turn the heat down a bit if necessary, a bit of char is cool but you don't want burnt tofu!
- Cut open your baguettes and spread with vegan mayo, then layer up the lettuce, cucumber and carrot
- Top with the tofu, a good handful of coriander and an extra drizzle of sriracha if you like it hot
- Bang - tofu banh mi. Best served with an ice-cold bottle of Saigon!
