Instructions:

1. Press the tofu.

2. Prepare the marinade: in a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Set aside.

3. Prepare the breadcrumb mix: in a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the coating. Set aside.

4. Cut the tofu in half lengthwise and once again in half widthwise to make 4 thick slices.

5. Place 2 slices of tofu in the marinade. Flip and make sure they are evenly covered.

6. In a large frying pan, heat the oil to medium.

7. Drop the marinated tofu in the breadcrumbs mix, flip to cover evenly and place on a heated frying pan.

8. Fry until golden, approx. 4-5min on each side. Place on a paper towel to dry it from excess oil.

9. Repeat with the remaining tofu slices.

10. In a small bowl, combine mustard and maple syrup to create the sauce.

11. Assemble the sandwich: toast the bread, spread vegan butter/vegan mayo, place lettuce, breaded tofu, tomatoes, capsicum. Pour the sauce over the sandwich and cover it with a slice of bread.

12. Enjoy!
