ingredients

The tofu:
  • 400 g firm tofu
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated or pressed)
  • 3 tsp tumeric (ground)
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ dl cold water
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Oil for frying
Condements:
  • Sauerkraut (to taste)

instructions

  1. Drain the tofu and gently press exess moisture from it using the palm of your hands.
  2. Cut the tofu into quarters (we sliced ours lengtways once and across once).
  3. Put the tofu in a container with a lid, or a zip lock bag, with all the spices and water.
  4. Put away in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferrably over night.
  5. Once marinated properly, heat a pan on medium heat. Once warm,  pour in oil for frying – we used cold pressed rapeseed oil.
  6. Fry the tofu (including the marinade) on each side on a medium heat for approximately 10 minutes per side, until crisp and golden on the surface.
  7. Chop the chilies and mix with the hot sauce. Slice the tomatoes.
  8. Remove the tofu from the pan and allow to rest on a plate.
  9. Cut  4 slices of bread and fry quickly in the frying pan until golden and crisp.
  10. Build the sandwich with sauerkraut spread on the base, layer with tomatoes and put the tofu on top.
  11. Finish off with a tablespoon of vegan fraiche each, and sprinkle the chilies on top. Grind some additional black peppar just to give the dish that final touch.
