Recipes for Busy People
My favorite part about this incredible tofu sandwich (besides its amazing taste of course!), is that it all comes together in less than 10 minutes. Most of the time, when the afternoon rolls around I’m either really busy or just not in the mood to spend a ton of time in the kitchen so this has become one of my go-to lunch recipes when I have access to a kitchen.
The tofu takes about 2-4 minutes on each side to pan-fry, and during that time you can be toasting your bread (if you’re like me and like your sandwich bread toasted) and assembling all your favorite sandwich add-ins. Adding in an extra few minutes to get set up in the kitchen and to assemble your sandwich, that brings you to just 10 minutes spent on your amazing meal!
Taking it To-Go!
This sandwich also super convenient to prepare before school or work and is easy to pack away in my favorite reusable sandwich bags (more info here)! They’re super quick to prepare in the morning and are the perfect no-mess, no-hassle on-the-go lunch or dinner, it’s my favorite when I know I’m going to have lunch on the road or maybe during a hike or campout. This recipe is also super kid friendly, just customize the sandwich fix-ins to their liking and bam! you got the perfect school lunch that any kid would be happy to have.
If you are packing this with a lunch, I’d recommend adding in a mandarine or an apple to get some more vitamins and nourishment in there. I also love adding in a small handful of veggie chips on the side!
