Steps:

  • Wrap the slices of tofu in a clean dish towel. Place on a cutting board and set another cutting board on top. Place a can of tomatoes or the equivalent on top of the cutting board to weigh down the board. Leave 20 minutes.
  • Mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, ginger and sugar in a wide bowl. Set the pressed tofu in the mixture, turn the slices over and leave to marinate 30 minutes.
  • Remove the tofu from the marinade, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Spread one piece of bread with mustard, and top with a mound of salad greens. Lay the tofu slices over the greens in a single layer. Lay the tomato slices over the tofu in a single layer. Top the tomatoes with the avocado slices. Stir together the mayonnaise and wasabi, and spread over the remaining piece of bread. Top the sandwich, press down firmly, cut in half and serve. Alternately, wrap in plastic, refrigerate and serve later.

FOOD'S AMAZING CILANTRO TOFU SANDWICH

My friend Judy Ornstein has a popular neighborhood cafe on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles called FOOD. I love all of the meals I've had there, but my absolute favorite signature dish that they make is a cilantro tofu sandwich. The tofu is dipped in a delicious cilantro-spiked marinade, briefly baked, then topped with a to-die-for roasted corn relish. Alayne Berman, FOOD's chef, shared the recipe with me. I've scaled the recipe down from 10 pounds of tofu to 1 pound, which will make four sandwiches. They are hearty, and I usually make a meal of half a sandwich, but the nutritional information is for a whole one.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut laterally into 4 equal squares, approximately 1/3 inch wide. They should be just the right size for the sandwich bread.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment. In a large, wide bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Pat each square of tofu with paper towels, then dip into the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the tofu for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the corn relish. Grill the corn until it colors lightly, and allow to cool. Remove the kernels from the cob. Peel, seed and dice the roasted peppers. Combine peppers, corn and remaining relish ingredients in a medium bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • For each sandwich, spread a thin coating of Vegenaise on each slice of bread. Top the bottom slice with a piece of baked marinated tofu. Fan thin slices of avocado over the tofu (the avocado helps the relish adhere to the sandwich). Top the avocado with 1/2 to 3/4 cup relish. Top the relish with slices of heirloom or good roma tomatoes and a handful of arugula. Top with the second slice of bread.

A 1-pound block of organic extra-firm tofu (find one that is not too dry)
3 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably tamari
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tablespoon minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon minced jalapeño
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 1/4 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 generous bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 large ear white corn
1/4 large red bell pepper, roasted
1/4 large yellow bell pepper, roasted
1/4 generous bunch cilantro, finely chopped
Pinch of cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 4-ounce slice of tofu
1/4 large or 1/2 small Hass avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 to 3/4 cup corn relish
Sliced heirloom or good roma tomatoes, in season only
2 slices seeded sandwich bread
2 teaspoons Vegenaise
Arugula

AMAZING MARINATED TOFU SANDWICH

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, combine the oil, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice (lemon juice can also be used), and honey. Mix it with a fork until combined.
  • Place the tofu in the marinade until ready to cook (this can be a few minutes or a few hours, it doesn't really matter).
  • Cook the tofu in a pan with a little of the marinade, no oil is necessary as it is already in the marinade. Cook till golden brown (or to your liking).
  • While the tofu is cooking, lightly toast the bread. Then spread the mayonnaise on one slice and the mustard on the other.
  • When the tofu is cooked, place it on one slice of bread, put the cheddar on top, and place it bread-side down in the pan. Place the lid on the pan to let the cheese melt.
  • When the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich, place any veggies on top of the cheese, and place the last piece of bread on top.
  • Serve warm!
