Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Baguette - 2 small
• Cucumber - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Radish - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh mint - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Sriracha (optional) - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into thick slices.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and minced garlic. Marinate the tofu slices in this mixture for at least 10 minutes.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
4. While the tofu is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot, and slice the radish.
5. Once the tofu is done, cut the baguettes in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
6. Spread a little hoisin sauce inside each baguette, then layer in the crispy tofu, cucumber, carrot, radish, cilantro, and mint.
7. Drizzle lime juice over the fillings and add Sriracha if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bánh Mì Tàu Hủ!
