One day I was really hungry and looking for something to eat. I had a block of tofu and some bread, and I had the idea to fry up some tofu slices and make them into a sandwich. It was heavenly. One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever tasted. And I said that I absolutely must share the recipe with my readers.

And then I wondered… if I weren’t so hungry, would it have been just as amazing? 

So then I tried again, on a normal day, with a normal appetite. And yup. Still amazing. Still easy. Still delicious. And vegan and gluten free to boot.

Highly recommended.

And yes, this is super simple. But I decided that I’m not going to not share a recipe with readers just because its simple. Because simple things sometimes are the best, and just because something is simple doesn’t mean other people will come up with that on their own.

Ingredients:

Firm tofu

Onion

Oil

Lettuce

Gluten free or regular bread or bun

Mustard

Barbecue sauce

Instructions:

1. Slice your tofu into thin pieces wide enough to comfortably fit in your sandwich.

2. Slice your onions into rings.

3. Fry your onions together with your tofu, mixing it frequently, so that the flavor of the fried onion gets all over the tofu, but then allow the tofu to crisp up.

4. Toast your bread.

5. Spread your bread with mustard.

6. Top with tofu slices and fried onions, then top with barbecue sauce and lettuce.

7. Close your sandwich.

Enjoy!

I know this sounds simple… but it really is heavenly! Give it a try!

Do you ever make sandwiches with tofu? Does this look like something you’d try?
