Tofu Banh Mi – Wholesome Culture Cookbook

Wholesome Culture Cookbook vegan tofu banh mi recipes

 

Makes 2 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 12-16 minutes

  • Soft French baguette
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 14 oz pack extra firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced, lengthwise
  • 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, sliced using potato peeler
  • 2 tablespoon mayo
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons mint

Directions: 

  1. Add 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a bowl and mix well. Slice the cucumber, jalapenos, and carrot and add to this mixture. 
  2. Using paper towels, press out some of the liquid from the tofu. Then, slice into rectangular patties (the width of the baguette and around 1/2 inch thick). Add oil to a large pan on medium heat and add in tofu. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned. 
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or cup, mix together barbeque sauce, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, garam masala and garlic powder. 
  4. Once tofu has browned on one side, flip and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, or until lightly browned. Then, pour in the barbeque soy sauce mixture, making sure to thoroughly coat each piece of tofu. Remove from heat.
  5. Chop the cilantro and mint. If desired, heat the baguette. Then, spread a layer of mayo onto the bread. Sprinkle with herbs, then top with the tofu and the pickled vegetables.

Where are the Alfredo lovers??? 😍🤚⁣ ⁣ You don’t have to use dairy to make a good cream sauce!

Chili Cheese Nachos

View this post on Instagram

Chili Cheese Nachos—made vegan! In my past life, I loved digging into a big ol’ plate of chili cheese nachos from a popular fast food joint. (And I washed it down with a shake, of course.) 😊My version has a decadent-tasting combo of luxurious vegan cheese sauce and smoky lentil and kidney bean chili, and it’s vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free (with a nut-free option to boot.) Nope, I don’t miss the old one a darn bit. 🤗 The full recipe is available in the #osgeveryday cookbook, and psst…you can also find it on @clean.plates and @honest blogs. Let me know if any of you have tried it out! If you like the video, don’t forget to visit the link in my Insta profile to subscribe to our YouTube channel. That way you’ll never miss out when we share a new one. #osgvideos #ohsheglows
