- 1 teaspoon miso (white or chickpea miso)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 400 grams firm or extra firm tofu (pressed for at least 15-20 minutes and sliced as desired)
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced onion
- Chopped lettuce (as needed)
- Chopped cilantro (as needed)

Hello! Let's get started. First, we prepare our marinade sauce. Take a large bowl and add all the marinade ingredients, mix well.
Now, make sure the miso is mixed by pressing a bit on the sides of the bowl. Don't worry, it's very easy!
Now you can add your sliced and pressed tofu. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes. Don't be impatient, it's worth the wait!
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place your tofu from the marinade, brushing a bit more marinade on top. Bake at 200ºC for 20-30 minutes.
Once your tofu is out of the oven, set it aside and let's deal with the vegetables now.
Mix the cucumber, onion, and carrot in the remaining marinade. Make sure they are well mixed, that's it!
Now we've reached the most enjoyable part: assembling our sandwich. The choice of fresh or toasted bread is entirely up to you.
Add a layer of lettuce to your bread, then place the tofu slices. Continue with the marinated vegetables on top.
As a final touch, sprinkle some cilantro, green onion, and a pinch of black pepper. Drizzle the remaining marinade over and cover with the other slice of bread.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your meal!
