How to use this list
Start by gathering the main ingredients: extra-firm tofu, French baguettes, daikon radish, carrots, and English cucumber. Use rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to pickle the veggies. Marinate the tofu with soy sauce, maple syrup, and toasted sesame oil, then pan-sear it in avocado oil. Assemble sandwiches with vegan mayo, sriracha, fresh cilantro, jalapeño, and cucumber.

Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t use soft tofu—it won’t hold up when sliced or cooked. Skip pre-sliced baguettes; whole loaves stay fresher and are easier to fill. Avoid skipping the pickled vegetables; they’re essential for the right flavor and crunch. Don’t overload with sriracha unless everyone likes it spicy. If you’re short on time, buy pre-made pickled daikon and carrot, but homemade tastes better.
What is on this list
You’ll need a 14-ounce block of extra-firm tofu, two French baguettes, daikon, carrots, rice vinegar, sugar, low-sodium soy sauce, maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, vegan mayo, sriracha, an English cucumber, fresh cilantro, jalapeño, and avocado oil. Double-check your pantry for soy sauce and vinegar. Cross off what you already have to avoid duplicates.
Before you go
Before shopping, check your fridge for leftover tofu, condiments, and cilantro. Buy baguettes the day you plan to serve for best texture. After assembling, wrap sandwiches tightly if taking them to go. Clean up by wiping cutting boards and refrigerating any leftover pickled veggies—they keep well for future meals.
