Ingredients

  • 200 grams firm organic tofu
  • 1 cup chopped Napa cabbage
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons tamari
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 4 slices sourdough spelt bread
  • Handful of baby greens
  • 1 teaspoon ghee
  • pinch pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Begin by draining and pressing 200 grams of firm organic tofu to remove excess moisture; wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a weight on top for about 15 minutes.
  • Prepare vegan kimchi by mixing together 1 cup of chopped Napa cabbage, 1 grated carrot, and 2 thinly sliced scallions in a bowl.
  • In a separate small bowl, create a kimchi paste by combining 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water; mix until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the kimchi paste to the vegetable mixture and massage with clean hands to ensure even coating; set aside to ferment at room temperature for at least 4 hours, then refrigerate.
  • Slice the pressed tofu into 1/4-inch thick slices and marinate in a mixture of 2 tablespoons tamari, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger for 30 minutes.
  • In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat and pan-fry the tofu slices until golden brown on each side, approximately 3 minutes per side; set aside on a paper towel.
  • To assemble, lightly toast 4 slices of sourdough spelt bread to enhance their texture and flavor.
  • In a small skillet, lightly sauté a handful of baby greens in a teaspoon of ghee until just wilted, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
  • Spread a thin layer of coconut oil on one side of each slice of sourdough, followed by a generous spoonful of vegan kimchi on two slices.
  • Layer the pan-fried tofu over the kimchi, followed by the sautéed baby greens.
  • Cap each sandwich with the remaining slices of sourdough, oiled side down.
