Ingredients

For the Tofu Filling

1 block Firm tofu Slice into thick slabs
2 tablespoons Soy sauce Consider tamari for gluten-free
1 teaspoon Garlic powder Fresh minced garlic works too
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika

For the Vegetables

2 cups Fresh spinach Can swap with arugula
2 medium Sliced tomatoes
1 medium Avocado Sliced

For the Spread

1/2 cup Hummus
2 tablespoons Mustard Dijon or whole grain recommended

Method

Prepare the Tofu

Slice firm tofu into thick slabs, about 1/2 inch each. Press them gently between paper towels to release excess moisture.

Marinate

Whisk together soy sauce, garlic powder, and a splash of sesame oil in a bowl. Add the tofu slices and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Cook the Tofu

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the marinated tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Toast the Bread

While the tofu cooks, pop your favorite bread into the toaster or grill until golden and crispy.

Assemble the Sandwich

Layer the crispy tofu on one slice of toasted bread. Add fresh greens, sliced tomatoes, and avocado.

Spread and Top

Spread your favorite sauce or condiment on the other slice of bread, such as vegan mayo or hummus. Close your sandwich with a gentle press.
