1
Prepare the Tofu
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs.
2
House Smoke the Tofu
Smoke the tofu using a stovetop smoker or in a grill with wood chips for about 30 minutes until infused with a smoky flavor.
3
Prepare Vegetables
Slice the tomato, bell pepper, and onion into thin slices.
4
Make Garlic Aioli
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
5
Assemble the Sandwich
On two slices of sourdough bread, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli. Layer smoked tofu, vegan mozzarella, arugula, tomato, bell pepper, and onion on top. Top with the remaining slices of sourdough.
6
Grill the Sandwich
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7
Serve
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm with additional garlic aioli on the side, if desired.
