步驟

Press the tofu: Slice your tofu through the block into 4 slices to fill the bread. Place the slices of tofu on a plate with a paper towel between each slice. Balance a salad plate on top to squeeze the liquid out of the tofu. Let it sit like that until time to fry.

Cook your spicy paste: In a small pot, bring to a simmer, 1/4 cup ghee, 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder, 1 teaspoon achiote powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Turn off burner and cover until ready to use.

Coleslaw: Stir together 8 ounces shredded cabbage, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon extra fine sugar, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley.

Toast your bread: Brush bread with melted butter. Place on a cookie sheet under the broiler to toast (about 30 second to 1 minute).

Get the oil ready: Heat one cup of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. The oil should not smoke, but should be hot enough that the tofu sizzles when you put it into the oil.

Setup 3 bowls for breading the tofu: 1st bowl: 1 cup flour seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. 2nd bowl: two eggs whisked together with 1 tablespoon hot sauce. 3rd bowl: 1 cup flour seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 2 teaspoons cayenne powder.

Bread the tofu: Dip tofu into 1st flour bowl and shake off excess. Dip the tofu into the egg mixture, and gently shake off the excess. Dip the tofu in the 3rd bowl with flour, thoroughly covering both of the sides. Then place the tofu straight into the hot oil and cook until the breading is golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes on each side. Once the breading is golden brown, remove from oil and place onto a paper towel lined plate.

To Serve: Brush tofu with spicy paste. Place coleslaw on one slice of toast, arrange tofu and pickles on top, top with another slice of toast.
