Method

  • step 1

    Remove the tofu from the pack and press out the excess water, either between sheets of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel, weighed down with a plate for about 30 mins.

  • step 2

    Mix the mayo, mustard, turmeric and nutritional yeast together with a little salt and pepper.

  • step 3

    Crumble the tofu into a bowl, leaving large chunks to create a chopped egg texture. Gently stir in the chives. If you want it looser you can add more mayo.

  • step 4

    Spread the mixture on the bread to make four or five rounds of sandwiches (depending on how much filling you want), then add cress, if you like. Use a sharp knife to cut into triangles.

RECIPE TIPS
GET THE EGGY FLAVOUR

If you want to replicate an eggy flavour in these sandwiches, try adding a pinch of black salt (also called kala namak or Himalayan black salt) which has a distinctive sulphurous flavour.

Really good - “egg mayo” satisfying. I used Silken firm tofu. I’ll add the black salt next time.

This might be a stupid question but does the tofu need cooking before making the sandwiches?

Hi Natalie, No question is stupid! No you don't need to cook the tofu before you use it. I hope you like these, I was really impressed by the way they turned out in the test kitchen. Lulu
