Tofu Banh Mi – Part 2
Posted: March 13, 2012 Filed under: recipes | Tags: banh mi, carrot, cucumber, daikon, easy, Healthy, Jalapeño, make ahead, sandwhiches, Tofu, vegan possible, vegetarian 2 CommentsI could not decide whether to make this tonight or do avocado sandwiches. I decided on this, my tofu had marinated 2 days and was quite tasty uncooked, so banh mi it was.
Other than the recipes for the pickled daikon and carrots, and the tofu marinade, this is all pretty simple. Just bake the tofu and assemble with some cucumber, sriracha-mayo, jalapenos, and cilantro. I suppose you could leave off the mayo and call it vegan.
So I bake the tofu here, yes bake it. I find that baking tofu makes it firm up nicer and, obviously, it does not require oil. This is perfect for a warm spring night, or whenever.
Tofu Banh Mi Part 1 – Pickled Daikon and Lemongrass Marinade

That and I like sandwiches. Tomato-Avocado, Shrimp, and Banh Mi.
The Banh Mi requires some prep, so I prepped it today and will make the rest later this week, like tomorrow. Prep here are the pickled carrots-daikon and I decided just to marinate the tofu overnight, because, why not?
I used the recipes here for reference, after staring at several different ones online.
