METHOD

  1. Mix the tofu marinade ingredients together in a container, add the tofu and coat evenly. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to marinade (or overnight, if possible)

  2. Heat the olive oil in a griddle pan or frying pan over a medium heat. Place the tofu slices into the pan and cook for around 8 minutes until crispy, turning occasionally.

  3. Meanwhile, spread the mayo on one side of each slice of bread

  4. To assemble the sandwiches, layer the tofu, tomato and lettuce between two slices of bread. Add extra mayo on top of the filling, if desired.
