Crispy pan-fried tofu and crunchy iceberg lettuce layered in a toasted bread with a bold, savory peanut-BBQ sauce that ties it all together.

Ingredients

sandwich

sauce

Contains: gluten, nuts, soy

How to make it

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Toast both bread slices in a little oil (1 tsp) until golden and crispy on both sides.
  2. Slice the tofu in half and fry in the remaining oil — in the same pan or a waffle iron — until crispy on both sides. Use firm marinated tofu such as BBQ or chili.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with 1–2 tbsp of water — it should be thick but spreadable. For extra flavour, add a crushed clove of garlic.
  4. Spread 1 tbsp of sauce on one toasted bread slice. Layer on the lettuce, crispy tofu, remaining sauce, and sliced tomato. Feel free to add other vegetables or fresh herbs like coriander. Top with the second bread slice, press gently, and slice in half.
