Method

  1. Press tofu, slice into planks, and toss with soy sauce and cornstarch.
  2. Pan-fry tofu in oil until golden and crispy on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
  3. Slice baguette sections lengthwise and toast until crusty.
  4. Spread sriracha mayo on both cut sides of the bread.
  5. Layer crispy tofu, pickled vegetables, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. Press together and serve.

Timing

Allow roughly 6 minutes of preparation and 19 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
