Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 packs extra firm tofu approx. 396g each
  • Oil e.g. veg, sunflower, rapeseed

Method:

  1. Cut the tofu into 1cm slices. Lay a clean tea towel on a board, place the tofu on top then cover with another clean tea towl. Place a second board on top with a weight e.g. cans, and leave for 1 hour. Alternatively use 3-4 pieces of paper towel.

  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle pan and take the tofu out of the marinade and brush each side with a little oil. Place the tofu on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes before turning. Cook on the other side for 2 minutes.
  4. Mix the glaze then brush onto the tofu slices before serving. Arrange slices of cucumber and mint leaves on the soft buns, adding the tofu and topping with salad leaves.
