Banh Mi

Just a couple of months ago we discovered banh mi, which is a type of Vietnamese sandwich. There are dozens of different varieties, some with meat, some with tofu, and they often have pickled vegetables on them. We normally do ours up with just veggies, but sometimes we include tofu. The way we make ours is adapted from Love & Lemons' recipe, which you can view here.  Here is what we do:

Cut extra firm tofu into bite size squares and marinate in this mixture:
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 minced garlic clove
a dash of powdered ginger or grated ginger
black pepper

Let them marinate for at least an hour, then fry with a bit of olive oil in a skillet until the outside is crispy. Cut your French baguette open to make a sandwich. We use arugula, then lay the tofu on top of that. Then layer in the pickled veggies, which I'll give the recipe for in a different post. Top with a drizzle of ranch dressing and sriracha.
