Ingredients

  • Marinated Tofu
  • Bánh Mì Sauce
  • Pickled Vegetables

Directions

  1. Combine all the ingredients for the tofu marinade EXCEPT the cooking oil in a large, shallow dish.
  2. Slice the tofu into (4) ¼" slices and place in the marinade so that tofu is completely submerged. Marinate for at least 1 hour.
  3. While the tofu marinates, combine the ingredients for the pickled vegetables in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the creamy Bánh Mì Sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. Once tofu is marinated, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook for 5 minutes per side, until the tofu is dark and crispy.
  6. Generously spread the creamy Bánh Mì sauce over both sides of the Carbonaut hot dog buns. Add cooked tofu and a small handful of pickled vegetables. Top with fresh cilantro and jalapeño (optional) and serve immediately.
