Recipe Directions

Directions

  • Cut tofu into 0.5 cm thick slices and press it between clean paper towels to get rid of excess water.⁣
  • In a shallow, wide dish, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, oil, minced lemongrass, and garlic.
  • Place the tofu in the marinade and gently coat the tofu, arrange such that there is minimal overlap. Place the tofu in the refridgerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer the more flavor).
  • Meanwhile, prepare your other fillings and condiments.
  • When the tofu is ready, pan-fry it on medium heat for 2 minutes in each side until it is golden.
  • Open each bread roll⁣ and spread mayonnaise on one or both sides⁣.
  • Fill with the carrot, cucumber, cilantro, and chili. Add in a generous amount of tofu and enjoy!
