Ingredients

1/3 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 medium carrots, thinly sliced on the bias (1/16-inch thick)

4 slices tofu, (cut from a block; about 1/3-inch thick)

4 teaspoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

4 slices whole-grain, seeded bread

1/4 red onion, sliced paper thin

2 slices Arla Havarti cheese

1 mini seedless cucumber, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices

1 small tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices

1/2 cup sprouts

Preparation

Step 1
Mix vinegar, 1/4 cup water, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and remove from heat once sugar dissolves. Add carrots to pan and allow to sit while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.
Step 2
Place tofu in a single layer in a dish with sides and pour in soy sauce. Flip the tofu over so it's evenly coated. Allow to marinate at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet until hot. Dry tofu on a paper towel, pressing to absorb soy sauce (don't rinse). Sauté in oil until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes total. Remove from pan and place on a fresh paper towel.
Step 4
Mix mayonnaise and Dijon in a small bowl. Spread mixture on 1 side of each slice of bread. Top with some of the red onion and cucumber and then the tofu. Top the tofu with the cheese, some of the pickled carrots (drain from liquid first), sprouts, sliced tomato and more cucumbers. Top with more red onion and the other piece of bread. Press down so the sandwich stays together (use a sandwich pick if desired).
