How to Make Amazing Marinated Tofu Sandwich
- **Make the marinade:** In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon honey.
- **Marinate the tofu:** Add 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed, to the marinade. Toss to coat and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
- **Cook the tofu:** Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and about 1 tablespoon of the marinade to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and heated through (about 5-7 minutes).
- **Toast the bread:** While the tofu cooks, lightly toast 2 slices of your favorite bread.
- **Assemble the sandwich:** Spread mayonnaise on one slice of toast and mustard on the other. Place the cooked tofu on one slice of bread.
- **Melt the cheese:** Top the tofu with 1-2 slices of cheddar cheese. Place the sandwich, cheese-side down, in the skillet. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and gooey (about 1-2 minutes).
- **Add veggies (optional):** Add your favorite veggies (e.g., sliced tomatoes, red onion, spinach) on top of the melted cheese.
- **Finish the sandwich:** Top with the other slice of bread and cook for another 30 seconds to warm the top slice.
- **Serve immediately:** Enjoy your warm, delicious, and amazing marinated tofu sandwich!
