Tofu Sandwich

Tofu has a terrible reputation that keeps people from ever wanting to try it. When I tell meat-eaters that I'm vegan, one of the first things I hear is, "OMG! How do you eat tofu?!?!?!" The truth is, I love tofu. However, to love tofu, you need to know what to do with it. I promise to add more recipes soon, but this is one of my favorites. The tofu sandwich is easy and quick and cheap, I have one every Saturday after I've finished my house chores.
You will need:
Raw Sunflower Seeds
2 Slices of Tofu (about 1/2 inch thick)
2 pieces of toast (my favorite is Food For Life's Ezekial bread)
Veganaise
Mustard
Greens
Tomatoes
Whatever else you like on your sandwich

First, grab a small frying pan and put a little bit of oil (I use high-heat safflower oil for my frying needs) at the bottom. Add a tablespoon or two of sunflower seeds and drizzle them with Braggs Liquid Aminos or soy sauce. Toast them at medium heat.

Next, add your tofu and drizzle with Braggs or soy sauce.


Fry them on each side until they are browned.


I put Veganaise on both pieces of toast and then I mix mustard with it. I add some greens and sometimes onions, tomatoes are great, but they aren't in season right now, so I don't have any. Cucumbers are also great on this sandwich. Put whatever else you like on your sandwiches and chow down!
