Instructions

Step 1

In a large, rimmed baking dish, mix the nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, onion powder, garlic powder, and sriracha.

Step 2

Place the tofu rectangles in the marinade in a single layer. Coat both sides generously with the marinade and set aside for at least 15 minutes, flipping them over after 10 minutes and brushing with more marinade.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tofu from the marinade and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove the rectangles from the skillet. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the onion and remaining marinade to the skillet. Cook over medium-high for about 10 minutes, or until the onion has softened and turns golden brown. Add more coconut aminos as desired to taste.

Step 5

Meanwhile, warm the buns in a toaster oven. Spread mayonnaise onto both sides of the bun. Add two tofu rectangles, and a large lettuce leaf. Top with one fourth of the onion. Repeat for each bun. Serve immediately.
