Ingredients

4 servings

1 x 14 ozextra firm tofu

package, pressed for 20 minutes or super firm tofu

⅓ cupplain breadcrumbs

1 cupsoyster crackers

finely crushed, like the kind you’d get with soup, you can find them near the saltines at the grocery store

2 Tbskelp granules

which you can get here

1vegan egg

2 cupscanola oil

or other high-heat oil

4buns

4slices vegan American cheese

tartare sauce

¾ cupvegan mayonnaise

2 Tbssweet relish

1 Tbslemon juice

¼ tsplemon zest

¼ tspsalt

¼ tspfresh cracked pepper

½ tsponion powder

Instructions

Step 1

Mix together the tartare sauce ingredients, cover, and put in the fridge for at least an hour.

Step 2

Heat the canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Let it get nice and hot while you prep the rest of the ingredients. Place a baking rack over a baking sheet and set next to the skillet.

Step 3

Turn the tofu block on its side and filet down the middle lengthwise, then filet those pieces down the middle again so you end up with 4 equal slabs of tofu

Step 4

Put ½ cup vegan egg (I used Just Egg, I found that the follow your heart separated too much) in a small dish but big enough to be able to dunk the tofu in

Step 5

Combine the kelp, breadcrumbs, oyster cracker crumbs, and ¼ tsp salt on a large plate

Step 6

Once your oil is hot, dunk the tofu in the egg then into the kelp mixture, gently but firmly pressing the breadcrumbs into it on all sides.

Step 7

Place in oil and repeat with one more piece of tofu. (Fry only 2 pieces of tofu at a time otherwise it will cool the oil too much and the tofu will absorb a bunch of oil and it will be way too oily!)

Step 8

Fry 2 minutes then flip and fry another 2 minutes, remove and place on baking rack to drain. Repeat with other 2 pieces of tofu.

Step 9

Assemble your sandwiches, spread a little tartare sauce on the bottom bun, place a slice of cheese, tofu slab, spread more tartare on the top bun and you’re done!
