CRISPY FRIED TOFU SANDWICH
This fried tofu sandwich is so phenomenal, it just might unite vegans and meat eaters once and for all. The tofu gets soaked in a seasoned pickle brine (if you know, you know), then blanketed in a sweet mustard glaze and battered with a savory flour mixture. After a quick fry, the crispy patty is ready to get stacked on a bun with shredded lettuce, dill pickles and a fast and delicious vegan Buffalo mayo. The key here is freezing the tofu overnight, which creates a sturdy sponge-like structure that's ready to soak up tons of flavor. It's a simple hack that will rocket your tofu game to the next level!

Steps:
- For the tofu: Slice the tofu in half widthwise and then across to create 4 large pieces. Arrange the pieces in a large microwave-safe airtight container (some overlap is ok) and freeze overnight.
- Remove the lid from the container and microwave the tofu on high, stopping every 2 minutes to pour off the water and check if the tofu is thawed, about 6 minutes,. Transfer the tofu to a strainer while making the brine.
- Whisk the pickle juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in the same airtight container. Gently press the tofu pieces between your palms to expel any excess water, then nestle in the brine in an even layer. Cover and marinate the tofu in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- For the sandwich: Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pickle brine to create clumps. Whisk the Dijon and maple syrup plus 2 tablespoons of warm water together in a separate small shallow bowl.
- Pour 2 inches of oil into a large high-sided skillet or a Dutch oven and set over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
- While the oil is heating, dredge the tofu. Remove one piece from the brine and toss in the flour mixture to coat, shaking off the excess. Dip in the Dijon mixture, making sure all sides are coated, then dredge in the flour again, pressing to adhere the flour. Transfer the coated tofu to a plate while coating the rest.
- Add all four pieces of tofu to the hot oil, leaving space between each piece. (Fry in batches if the skillet is getting crowded.) Fry until the coating is a deep golden brown, flipping the tofu halfway, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fried tofu to paper towels or a baking sheet lined with a wire rack to drain.
- Spread some Vegan Buffalo Mayo on the burger buns, add a piece of tofu to each and layer with some lettuce and dill pickles.
- Add the tofu, hot sauce, Dijon, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt to a blender or food processor. Blend on high, stopping to scrape the sides as needed, until the mixture is smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a pint jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
TOFU SANDWICH SPREAD
This recipe is fast and flexible to your individual taste buds. Pressing a block of extra firm tofu can really improve the texture of the tofu in recipes like this. If you are vegan, try this with vegan mayonnaise - it will be just as good.

Steps:
- Start by pressing the tofu - place the block on one dinner plate and put another plate on top, upside down. Add some heavy items to the top of the stack like a couple of cast iron frying pans. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes, dumping water into sink a few times during the process.
- Meanwhile, prepare other ingredients as directed and mix all together. Remove the tofu from the plate and cut it into ½-inch cubes. Add to the mixture and gently stir until ingredients are just combined. Serve on toasted wheat bread or in a wheat pita with sprouts.

TWO TOFU SANDWICHES
I was thrilled to find excellent packaged kimchi at my Trader Joe's last week. I used it as part of the "vegetable build" in one of two tofu sandwiches. Kimchi - the one I used was mainly cabbage -- is a fermented food that, like yogurt, supplies your digestive system with probiotics. To have on hand: baked seasoned tofu.

Steps:
- Roast the tofu. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together the ingredients for the baked tofu. Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and dip into the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Place on the baking sheet and bake 10 minutes, or 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. Turn the heat up to 425 degrees.
- Brush the carrot slices with the olive oil and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the slices over halfway through. They should be lightly browned. Remove from the oven.
- Spread the tahini on the bottom slice of bread or focaccia. Top with the tofu. Sprinkle the cilantro over the tofu and top with a layer of carrots. Top the carrots with the kimchi, then place the other half of the focaccia or the other slice of bread on top and press down. Cut in half and enjoy.

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.
AMAZING MARINATED TOFU SANDWICH
The idea for this comes from a great restaurant I worked at. Tofu is cooked in a great marinade and served in a sandwich with cheddar. For me, it's comfort food.

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!

SMOKY TOFU, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO SANDWICHES (VEGAN BLTS)
Tofu, quickly seared and seasoned, is the "meat" of this hearty, comforting sandwich. Of course, actual bacon can be subbed in for the meat-eaters in the house!

Steps:
- Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add the tofu along with a pinch of salt. The tofu will hiss and jump around a bit, so watch out! Cook, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, 8-10 minutes. While the tofu cooks, mix the Tamari, pure maple syrup, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. When the tofu is done, reduce the heat to low and pour the Tamari mix over the top. Cook, flipping occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer the smoky seared tofu to a plate.
- Toast the bread then smear each piece with mayonnaise, as little or as much as you like - 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons or so. Top four pieces of bread with tomatoes; sprinkle with a touch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the tofu, then pile with the lettuce. Top with remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.
SHAWARMA-SPICED TOFU PITA WRAPS
Squeezing the tofu to get rid of as much water as possible primes it to soak up oil, spices, and, in a word, flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
- Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 1" pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, then add coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu, turning once or twice, until crispy around the edges and well browned, 20-25 minutes (the tofu will get crispier as it cools, so don't be tempted to take it too far and dry it out in the oven).
- Stir yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Assemble by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion, and a handful of mint.
