Ingredients
- 4 small baguettes
- 4 medium-size carrots
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 4 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup water
- 400 g tofu
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon five spice powder
- 2 teaspoon mirin
- 1 cup mayo
- 3 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 cucumber
- ¼ Mango
- A handful cilantro
- A handful mint
- 2 red chilis
Instructions
- To pickle the carrots, combine in a small container the carrots thinly sliced, maple syrup, vinegar, salt and water. Make sure all the ingredients are perfecly combined and leave them aside.
- Prepare the tofu. With a paper towel, remove any excess of water and cut the tofu into medium-size square pieces. Combine the soy sauce, mirin, and the five-spice powder in a shallow pan. Add the tofu pieces and leave marinating for 15 minutes on each side.
- Combine the vegan mayonnaise and the sriracha to prepare the sauce.
- Thinly slice the cucumber, mango and chilis. Rinse with clean water the cilantro and mint.
- Prepare the bread by cutting it lenghtwise just on one of the sides. This will help holding the ingredients inside your sandwich while eating it.
- Once the tofu is marinated, heat some oil on a skillet or griddle pan and cook the tofu on both sides until it turns a golden color. Leave to cool. Keep the leftover marinade for later.
- Add some of the leftover marinade on the bread, spread some sriracha mayo on both sides, pickled carrots (draining any excess of liquid), 3 tofu pieces, the fresh ingredients and the chilis.
- Close your Banh Mi and enjoy!
