Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object (like a pan) on top for 10 minutes.
Slice the pressed tofu into thick slabs, about 1 cm wide.
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the tofu slices.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slices and pan-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt to create a creamy spread.
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden and crunchy.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread avocado on one slice of bread. Layer with baby spinach, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and the fried tofu. Top with the second slice of bread.
Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty tofu sandwich!
