What is Banh Mi?
Banh mi is a Vietnamese baguette sandwich that is traditionally filled with meat. Banh Mi is the Vietnamese term for a specific type of sandwich.
For today’s recipe we are using marinated tofu, pickled carrots and purple radish, herbs and a vegan mayonnaise.
Preparation
Making them is pretty straightforward, like most sandwiches. We just need some time for the marinated tofu and the pickled vegetables. You can also prepare everything in the evening and let it steep overnight.
At the next day you only have to fry the tofu and your lunch is on the table faster than you can see.
We took a classic baguette and cut 2 pieces off each. You can also use baguette rolls, ciabatta or another long roll.

1 block firm tofu
vegetables
1 carrot

1 teaspoon salt
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 pinch of sugar
200 ml of water

3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
1 tsp Sriracha sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 cloves of garlic
1 cm piece of ginger
1 tsp sugar
also
fresh coriander
1 spring onion
1 small garden cucumber

Wrap the tofu in a tea towel and place a heavy saucepan on top. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Cut or slice the carrots and radish into sticks. Mix salt, vinegar, sugar and water and let the vegetables steep for half an hour.
Mix the mayo with sriracha and hoisin.
Put the soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl. Chop the garlic and ginger very finely or, best of all, crush them. Add to the soy mixture together with the sugar and stir well.
Cut the tofu into thirds lengthways and then halve. Place in the marinade and let it steep for 30-60 minutes.
Cut the cucumber and spring onion into thin slices / rings.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the tofu and marinade to the pan and then fry on both sides.
Halve the baguette, brush with mayo, then top with lettuce leaves, tofu, pickled vegetables, cucumber, coriander and spring onions.
If you like it spicy, there are chilli slices.
