Instructions

Creating Tofu Banh Mi with Quick Pickle can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Press the Tofu: Press the tofu between two plates with a weight on top for about 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and sriracha (if using). Mix well.
3. Marinate Tofu: Cut the tofu into thick slices and marinate in the sauce for at least 10 minutes.
4. Make the Quick Pickle: In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add cucumber, carrot, and radish. Toss to coat and set aside for 15 minutes.
5. Cook the Tofu: In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil. Cook the marinated tofu for around 5–7 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Toast the Baguette: Cut the baguette in half and lightly toast it in the oven for about 5 minutes until crispy.
7. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on both halves of the baguette. Layer with cooked tofu, quick pickles, and fresh cilantro.
8. Close and Serve: Press the baguette halves together, slice into manageable portions, and serve.

These steps will guide you to create an unbelievable Tofu Banh Mi that will delight everyone!
