Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 package firm tofu - (14-oz pkg)

1/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup egg substitute

1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs

1/2 cup soybean or other oil

1/4 cup Sweet Miso Dressing -- see below

4 whole-wheat kaiser rolls -- cut in half

1 cup soy or clover sprouts

8 slices tomato

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup shredded lettuce

=== SWEET MISO DRESSING ===

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet yellow miso

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar

1/4 teaspoon minced ginger root

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

 

To make the Sweet Miso Dressing: Blend mayonnaise, miso, soy sauce,

vinegar, ginger and sesame oil in food processor or blender. Store up to 1

week in refrigerator. (Makes 1/2 cup)

Slice tofu crosswise into 4 slices. Place on tray lined with paper towels.

Cover with paper towels and pat tofu to absorb moisture. When towels become

soaked, replace with new towels. Let tofu stand and drain about 1 hour.

Combine flour and salt. Dip both sides of tofu slices in flour mixture,

then in egg substitute, coating evenly, then in bread crumbs to coat. Heat

oil in skillet over medium-low heat until hot. Add breaded tofu slices and

cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Top bottom half of each bun with sweet miso dressing, 1 slice fried tofu,

1/4 cup sprouts, 2 slices tomato, 1/4 cup shredded carrot and 1/4 cup

shredded lettuce. Place roll top on each sandwich, cut into halves and

serve.

Makes 4 servings.
