Happy Meatless Monday folks. For those who haven't heard of Meatless Monday, it's a day started by Meatless Monday, a non-profit initiative dedicated to reducing meat consumption for health and environment. In honor of the day I have an easy lunch that even the meat lovers at my work love.
Báhn Mì is a trendy little sandwich from Vietnam. It's served on a French baguette but here in LA I buy bolillo rolls at my local Latino market. Typically it has lunch meat or pâté, mayo, cilantro, pickled carrots, julienned cucumber, fresh chili pepper slices.
For ours we are going to use:
Baked tofu, any flavor, sliced thinly
Bolillo roll or French baguette sliced in half lengthwise
Picked carrots- julienne carrots or use carrot slaw, soak in a mix of rice vinegar, sugar and water. Let sit overnight or for about 6hrs.
Fresh cilantro leaves
Fresh jalapeño, sliced
English cucumber, julienned
Sweet chili sauce, red pepper sauce found in the Asian section of market.
Mayonnaise
First spread mayo on sides of crusty roll, then add tofu, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño and cilantro in order listed. Dress with chili sauce and enjoy!!
