  1. PICKLE PARTY

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, add the vinegar, the juice of 1 lime wedge, and a sweetener of choice (to taste). Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the radish rounds and the cucumber and carrot matchsticks. Toss until fully coated and set aside to pickle.

  2. TOFU TIME

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime zest (to taste). Add the tofu slabs and set aside to marinate. In a separate bowl, combine the sriracha (to taste) and the mayo. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.

  3. BAGUETTES, BABY!

    Sprinkle the baguette with water and place on a baking tray. Pop in the hot oven for 2-5 minutes until warmed through. On completion, remove from the oven and carefully cut the baguette in half lengthwise. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, add the baguette halves, cut-side down, and toast for 2-4 minutes until golden.

  4. GOLDEN TOFU

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, remove the tofu from the marinade (reserving any remaining marinade in the bowl) and place in the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and starting to crisp. Remove from the pan on completion and season to taste.

  5. BORN READY FOR THIS BANH MI!

    To make your sandwich: smear the bottom baguette half with the spicy mayo (to taste). Top with the crispy tofu and some of the pickled veg. Sprinkle over the chopped coriander and close it up with the other baguette half. Side with any leftover veg, any remaining lime wedges, and any remaining marinade for dunking. Enjoy!
