This Blackened Tofu & Coleslaw Sandwich is perfect for a summer barbecue! It is packed with flavor from the spicy tofu steaks and creamy vegan coleslaw.
Making vegan coleslaw is as easy as mixing the dressing and a pre-packed coleslaw mix! Let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
While the coleslaw is chilling, prepare the tofu steaks! Pan-fry them in a nonstick skillet for about 5 minutes on each side.
Thinly slice the tomato and onion as the tofu cooks so everything is ready to assemble your sandwiches at the same time.
Assembly
Toast your bread to get it slightly crispy.
Spread a layer of mayo on each piece of bread.
Add a layer of tomato.
Spoon on the coleslaw.
Add a handful of red onion.
