[Post sponsored by Volkswagen] Today, I would like to offer you a vegetarian recipe. I hope that’s okay for you? I’ve got a nice recipe to make delicious (spicy) smoked tofu sandwiches with avocado! Sounds yummy, right?! Of course, it’s up to you to decide how spicy you like your sandwich. I’ve been told that spicy is not the same for everyone. ;-)
When I am travelling, I like to have a little snack at hand. When you are out and no shop or restaurant is around, a little sandwich can be a lifesaver. I know, sandwiches are not the fanciest snacks out there, but you can’t deny that sandwiches are very handy when it comes to travelling. With the right ingredients you don’t have to cool them and they are easily wrapped and good to go in a minute.
There are endless combinations for sandwiches. I decided to go for a vegetarian version today: smoked tofu, salad and avocado. Delicious! I heard “some like it hot”, so I recommend to use some hot chili sauce which adds to the flavor in a nice way ;)
If you are travelling, you might want to think about using a Bento box. Those boxes are perfect to store different snacks in one place. If the box has small compartments, you can use it to store some cherry tomatoes or carrots for example. No mix up of vegetables and sweets anymore. All well organized… just a little recommendation ;)
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the sauce:
1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
1 dried tomato, minced
smoked paprika
salt, pepper
For the sandwiches:
3.5 oz. (100g) smoked tofu
oil for frying
4 large slices of bread
salad leaves
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced
Sriracha sauce (or any other hot chili sauce)
Für die Soße:
60g Sauerrahm
1 getrocknete Tomate, fein gehackt
Rauchpaprika
Salz, Pfeffer
Für die Sandwiches:
100g Räuchertofu
Öl zum Anbraten
4 große Scheiben Brot
Pflücksalat
2 Tomaten, in Scheiben geschnitten
1/2 Avocado, in Scheiben geschnitten
Sriracha Sauce (oder andere scharfe Chili-Soße)
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Heat up a pan, add the oil and fry the tofu until it gets a nice color. Let drain on a paper towel. Spread the sauce evenly on the bread, add some salad leaves on two of the slices, top with tomato slices and the tofu pieces. Drizzle with some Sriracha sauce (you decide how spicy you like your sandwiches), place avocado slices on top and finish with the remaining bread. Press together, wrap in paper and cut in half.
2. Eine Pfanne erhitzen, das Öl zugeben und dann den Tofu von allen Seiten anbraten, bis er eine schöne Farbe bekommen hat. Auf einem Papiertuch abtropfen lassen. Die Soße auf den Brotscheiben verstreichen, ein paar Salatblätter auf zwei der Brotscheiben geben, Tomaten und Tofuscheinen darauf verteilen und dann mit etwas Sriracha Sauce beträufeln – hier müsst ihr entscheiden, wie scharf es werden soll. Avocado darauf verteilen und dann mit den zwei verbliebenen Brotscheiben deckeln. Die Sandwiches etwas zusammendrücken, dann in Papier einwickeln und in der Mitte auseinanderschneiden.

*I have partnered with Volkswagen to make this sandwiches. That is why I have to declare this here in Germany as Advertising. All I wrote in this article is still based on my own opinion and has not been affected by anybody :)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
