Скачать или смотреть How to make a Vegan Tofu Banh Mi! Such a delicious and fusion dish Vegans/Vegetarians need to try!

Banh Mi is a delicious Vietnamese dish with a French influence. It is a baguette sandwich layered with marinated protein and pickled veggie, greens, and some sauces. This is my version of a Vegan Banh Mi recipe using Tofu as the protein and easily available ingredients. It is such an explosion of flavors and textures. I recently started making this dish and we have it every 2 weeks at home. This is such a perfect sandwich and you gotta try it! It takes less work just plan so it can marinate well. Try this recipe and feel like you’re transported to the streets of Vietnam.

Happy Cooking!

Cooking Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 7-8 hours

Ingredients: 

Pickled Vegetables:
8-10 baby Carrots in thin slices
2 mini Cucumbers or 1/2 large cucumber in thin slices
1 small yellow Onions in thin slices 
2-3 Serrano cut in circles 
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp salt 
1/2 tsp Chilli flakes
1/2 tsp honey
1 tbsp white/chili Vinegar
2 tsp Red wine vinegar
1/2 cup Water

Tofu:
14-16 oz Tofu 
7-8 cloves Garlic minced
1 shallot minced/finely chopped
2 inch Ginger grated
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1.5 tbsp Peanuts chopped
2 tbsp Lime juice
2 tbsp oil 
1/2 cup water
1/2-1 tsp salt as per taste
1/4 tsp pepper

Assemble:
2 large or 4 medium Baguette
6-8 tbsp Mayonaise
2-3 tbsp Sriracha
1-2 tbsp Cilantro
1-2 large beefsteak tomatoes in thin slices
1.5-2 cups arugula, ideally baby arugula 

Directions: 
Press tofu for 20 mins at least. Check notes if you don’t have a tofu press.
Make sure the carrots, cucumbers, and onions are cut into thin slices.
In a jar or a bowl add the sliced veggies. Add the pepper salt, chili flakes, honey, both kinds of vinegar, and water. Mix it all together and make sure the veggies are covered with liquid. Let it sit for 5-6 hours up to overnight.
Cut the tofu into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thickness.
In a bowl add the minced garlic, shallots, grated garlic, peanuts, soy sauce, water, lime juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix it all together and the marinade is ready.
Dip the tofu slices in the marinade and make sure both sides are coated well. Let the tofu slices sit in the marinate for 3-4 hours. Check notes.
When ready cook the tofu. On a nonstick pan, brush some oil and place the tofu strips with some marinate over it. Cook both sides till cooked and slightly browned. It takes about 3-4 mins on each side.
Cut the baguettes through the middle horizontally. If you want to cut it vertically as well. Lightly toast the baguette by placing the cut sides down on a griddle.
Spread 1.5-2 tbsp mayonnaise on one side of the baguette. Top with arugula over it.
Place tofu slices over. I like to place them overlapping each other.
Add some tomatoes and the pickled veggies over. I like to spread 1 tsp of the pickle water over it too.
Drizzle some sriracha over it as per taste.
Close the baguette and serve!
