Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 whole cucumber
  • 1 tbsp cane sugar
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes
  • 2 lemon lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 3–4 whole carrots
  • 1–3 whole jalapeno
  • extra-firm tofu
Preheat the oven to 375. Dry off the tofu so it can crisp.
  • salt and pepper
Slice the tofu, not too thick or too thin, and season with a little salt and pepper.
Bake the extra-firm tofu for 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile prep the vegetables: cucumber, and shred, minding the fingers.
Make the marinade, salty, sweet, sour and spicy: cane sugar, chili flakes and lemon juice with salt, stirred to dissolve the salt and sugar.
Add the carrots to the marinade and let sit; the longer, the more flavourful.
  • premium hot dog buns
Slice the buns and put them in the oven two minutes before the tofu is done to toast.
  • sriracha
  • fresh cilantro
Assemble: cucumber, tofu slices, marinated carrots, jalapeno lined on top, sriracha to hold it in place, fresh cilantro.
