Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 medium Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 4 tbsp Vegan mayonnaise
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for at least 10 minutes.
Cut the pressed tofu into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Add tofu slices to the marinade and allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
Once hot, add marinated tofu slices to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preferred level of crispness.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Slice the tomatoes.
To assemble the sandwich, spread vegan mayonnaise on one side of the toasted bread slices.
Layer crispy tofu slices, mashed avocado, tomato slices, and lettuce on top of four bread slices.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread (mayonnaise side down).
Slice the sandwiches diagonally and secure with a toothpick, if desired, to keep them intact.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan chicken club sandwich!
