Lunch!!! Grilled Tofu sandwich.

So, I was craving a grilled tofu sandwich.

Here is what I used

  • extra firm tofu
  • market pantry french bread (I checked the label, and it is vegan.)
  • Paprika
  • Oregano
  • Soy Sauce
  • cooking oil (any kind, as long as it's vegan)
  • Onions (optional)
Here's what I did

  • Squeeze all the water out of the tofu.
  • Slice it int to 1/4 inch wide pieces.
  • Coat your skillet with cooking oil
  • Place tofu slices in your skillet
  • Sprinkle soy sauce over the tofu pieces (do not use too much. Just enough to slightly change the color.
  • Sprinkle Oregano and paprika over the tofu.
  • Brown on one side, and turn.
  • Sprinkle more Oregano and Paprika on the other side.
  • Warm up your bread.
  • It you want to sauté the onions,  you can. I was too hungry to wait on the onions, so I just sliced them and put them on the sandwich.
  • Nom! I mean, enjoy.

Tofu Breakfast Fajitas

Welcome to very my first vegan blog, and I am excited to share my journey with you. Before we start with the photos, I'd like to share a bit about myself. I am a freelance writer and a novelist by night, and I work part time as a preschool teacher by day.
I am currently working on a novel titled Autumn Again. For more about that, see the website: http://autumnagainnovel.com/ and the blog, http://jialing27.livejournal.com/.

Here is one of my favorite breakfast recipes.

Here is what you need:

  • Tortillas
  • Paprika (optional)
  • Extra firm tofu (do NOT use silken tofu)
  • Bell peppers (I like to use red, yellow, and green)
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil (or any oil)


Here's what you do!

  • Be sure that you squeeze all the water out of the tofu. It needs to be as dry as possible before you sauté it.
  • Slice or dice the bell peppers any what you want them, and sautee them in oil.
  • While peppers are cooking, Slice the tofu in to small one inch rectangles.
  • Add tofu to the skillet, sprinkle paprika over tofu and peppers, and cook until tofu is browned.
  • Heat up tortillas
  • Enjoy!
This is a quick and easy breakfast! Serve with soy milk, juice, or coffee, then take on the day!
