Vietnamese-Style Tofu Hero

By

This hot sandwich is a little more complicated than some of the others, but worth the time because it’s so delicious. Based on a popular Vietnamese baguette sandwich called a bánh mi, it brings together sweet vegetables and spicy-savory tofu. The layering of flavors and textures makes it a sort of exotic comfort food.

Tbsp. chile oil




4

fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps
1.Make the tofu: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the tofu. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place the tofu slabs in a single layer in the baking dish. Turn over to coat with the marinade. Bake for 20 minutes, turning the tofu over halfway through.
2.Assemble the sandwiches: Spread half of each baguette with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the chile oil. Layer 1 sprig of cilantro and 1 cucumber slice (cut to fit, if necessary).
3.Place two pieces of the tofu and a spoonful of the Asian Slaw on each baguette half. Top with remaining baguette halves and cut sandwiches in half. Serve immediately.
