    Grilled Sesame Tofu Sandwich

    Main Courses

    tofu sandwichTofu is made from curdled soy milk that the water has been removed from.  It tends to be fairly bland so it is great to marinate and flexible for whatever flavors you want to add. Tofu tends to have a meat like texture that many people like.  It is a great source of protein from that soy and provides a healthy dose of calcium and manganese. I know that many people struggle with properly cooking their tofu, but I think that I have perfected it in this recipe for you. Tossing your tofu on the grill helps add an extra crispiness, and requires little work.

    First, you’ll take your tofu and marinate it in a small bowl.  The marinade is a simple combo of sesame seed oil and soy sauce.  Let the tofu sit in the marinade for about 20 minutes to allow it to really soak in.  Throw the tofu on the grill for about 5 minutes or until crispy.  You can also cook it on the stove top if you don’t have a grill.  If you decide to go stove top, cook the tofu on each side for about 3 minutes.  Pop your bread in the toaster while the tofu cooks.  Finally, throw it all together with all of your favorite ingredients!

    Any toppings will really work for this sandwich.  I topped mine with avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo.  You can try anything you want.  How about hummus or spinach? What are your favorite sandwich toppings? Let us know how you prep this in the comments below! We love hearing from you. xo
