Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices vegan ham slices
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 leaves lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into a bowl.
Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to combine.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu mixture and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is slightly crispy and golden. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the vegan ham slices and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly browned. Remove from heat.
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
Spread vegan mayonnaise evenly over one side of each slice of toasted bread.
To assemble the sandwich, layer the sautéed tofu 'egg' mixture on one slice of bread, followed by 2 vegan ham slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and 2 tomato slices.
Top with another slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Gently press together.
Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.
Slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
