Recipe for French Baguette: https://www.marystestkitchen.com/how-to-make-vietnamese-baguettes-banh-mi/ 

Recipe for Banh Mi:

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 garlic clove, grate
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • vegan mayo
  • cilantro
  • basil
  • English cucumber
  • pickled vegetables (I like to pickle carrots and diakon in a simple pickling liquid the night before)
  • extra sriracha for garnish

Instructions

Follow instructions for making French baguette or purchase a soft baguette for use.

For the Tofu:

Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch planks and marinate in a glass container with the soy sauce through the ginger. Set in fridge for 20 minutes or overnight. Cook the tofu in a non-stick pan over medium heat and top with the remaining marinade ingredients for extra flavor. Tofu should be browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and assemble sandwiches. Place a good amount of mayo on both sides of the baguette, top with tofu, cucumber, pickled vegetables, cilantro, basil, and sriracha. Apply to face and have a great day!

Notes

Get creative with your fillings for this banh mi by trying a vegan pate, tempeh instead of tofu, or even use plant based chicken nuggets for the kiddos.
