Tofu Banh Mi offers a delightful mix of savory, spicy, tangy, and fresh flavors. The seasoned tofu provides a protein-rich base, complemented by the crunch and acidity of pickled vegetables, the herbaceousness of cilantro, and the creamy heat of spicy mayo.
The core flavor profile stems from marinated or fried tofu (often seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sometimes lemongrass), the tang of pickled carrots and daikon radish, the herbaceous notes of fresh cilantro and mint, and the rich, spicy kick from sriracha mayo or a similar chili-based condiment. The baguette itself contributes a crispy crust and soft interior, providing textural contrast to the fillings.

Tofu Preparation
Press the tofu thoroughly to remove excess water, allowing it to absorb the marinade and achieve a better texture when cooked. Marinating the tofu for at least 30 minutes (or longer) enhances its flavor.
Pickling Technique
Use a proper pickling solution of vinegar, sugar, and salt to achieve the right balance of sweet and sour in the pickled vegetables. Ensure the vegetables are submerged in the brine for optimal pickling.
Baguette Quality
Select a fresh, high-quality baguette with a crispy crust and soft, airy interior. Toasting the baguette lightly before assembling the sandwich enhances its texture and flavor.
Spicy Mayo
Customize the spice level of the mayo by adjusting the amount of sriracha or other chili sauce to your preference. A squeeze of lime juice can also brighten the flavor.
