A delightful sandwich featuring crispy tofu fillets and a tangy homemade tartar sauce.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then freeze it overnight for a firmer texture.
Freezing tofu changes its texture, making it chewier and better at absorbing flavors.
Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and even slices.
Combine cornmeal, flour, lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
Coat each tofu slice in the breading mixture.
Press the tofu slices into the breading to ensure a good coating.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the tofu slices for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the breading.
Remove the tofu from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the tofu gently with paper towels to remove as much oil as possible.
Mix mayonnaise, chopped pickle, onion, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the tartar sauce.
Adjust the seasoning of the tartar sauce to your taste by adding more lemon juice or salt.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the tofu fillets on a bun and topping with tartar sauce.
Add lettuce, tomato, or other toppings to customize your sandwich.
