Ingredients
For 4 servings.
1 cup = 240 ml; 1 tablespoon = 15 ml; 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.
- 400 g extra-firm tofu
- 60 ml reduced-salt soy sauce
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil for the marinade, plus a little for the grill
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 small courgette
- 1 red pepper
- 4 vegan bread rolls or 8 large bread slices
- 4 tbsp vegan mango chutney
- 4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
- 1 handful lettuce leaves
Step-by-step method
- Press tofu between clean cloths for 30 minutes, then cut into eight broad slices.
- Mix soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil and garlic powder. Coat the tofu in this marinade and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Cut courgette and pepper into wide strips. Stir chutney and mayonnaise together; wash and dry the lettuce.
- Heat and oil a grill pan. Drain the tofu and grill for about 5–7 minutes per side. Grill vegetables until tender and marked, working in batches if needed.
- Lightly toast the bread. Spread with the mango mixture and add lettuce, two tofu slices and vegetables to each sandwich.
- Close the rolls and serve immediately. If the grill is small, keep tofu covered while finishing the vegetables.
