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.
