Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut into thick slices.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the tofu slices and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated tofu for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread

    While the tofu is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread vegan mayo on one side of each toasted bread slice. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, and the cooked tofu. Top with another slice of bread.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm with your favorite side.
