TLT instead of BLT Sandwich step by step
- First, marinated the tofu with soy sauce, ginger, and mushrooms powder for about 5-7 minutes)..
- Then spread the refried bean over the bread evenly, sprinkle with chili flake if you like. Then toasted for about 4 minutes (less or more) depends on how crunchy the bread you want..
- While the bread is toasting, heat up the non-stick pan (you can spray it with cooking oil or brushing with little oil, but I don’t) add marinated tofu into the pan and cook it until it turns golden brown then flipped over and cook the other side as well until golden brown. I like to cook mine until crispy..
- Now time to assembly: On the cutting board places 2 breads and arrange the lettuce on top, added tofu, tomatoes, and bell peppers (optional) then cover both breads with another two bread..
