gochujang

garlic powder

sesame oil

black pepper

salt

maple syrup

tofu

onion

carrots

remaining marinade from above

white vinegar or rice vinegar

sugar

water

ciabatta rolls (or soft rolls)

lettuce (chopped, as needed)

mango

cilantro

jalapeño (thinly sliced, optional)

Preheat the oven to 400° F Fahrenheit (205° C).

Add all of the ingredients listed under marinade to a large, shallow bowl and mix really well. Add a tablespoon of water if the marinade. You might need another tbsp water depending on your gochujang sauce consistency so that the marinade is not too thick. Then add your sliced tofu to the marinade, tossing gently to coat all the sides of all the slices. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then transfer the tofu to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp and dry to preference.

Make the gochujang tofu:

There will be some marinade left in your bowl. If there isn&#39;t enough marinade, you can add in another tablespoon of soy sauce and gochujang. Add the vinegar, salt, sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of water to the bowl to make enough marinade mixture to coat the veggies. Add all of the sliced and julienned veggies to this bowl and toss to coat. Let the veggies sit to marinate for 5-10 minutes while the tofu is baking.

Marinate the veggies:

Prep your bread by slicing it. You can toast the bread if you like. then add a layer of lettuce to the bread. Remove the tofu from the oven, and use as many slices as can fit on your sandwich over the lettuce. Add a layer of mango or any other fruit that you like.

Add the marinated vegetable mixture on top. Pile it really well, because you want the sandwich to be nice and juicy. Then top it with with jalapeño and cilantro and the other bread slice and serve. Serve with any remaining marinade on the side for dipping.

Assemble the sandwich:
