Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole grain bread slices
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
Instructions
Begin by draining the firm tofu and gently patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
In a medium mixing bowl, crumble the tofu using your fingers or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, fresh chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the whole grain bread slices lightly, if desired.
Lay out two slices of bread and place a layer of lettuce leaves on each. Add an equal amount of the tofu mixture on top of the lettuce on each slice.
Top the tofu mixture with two slices of tomato per sandwich.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread to form two full sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
