So I found this recipe recently for a fried tofu sandwich. This thing was amazing, it’s a vegan sandwich that is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and had a really unique texture and flavor. The tofu block gets marinated in pickle juice and chili paste, giving the whole thing such a unique flavor. It does take a little time, but honestly, the process is pretty simple, and the eggless batter used to coat the tofu really was so cool.
