FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE LIFE Instructions: Line a baking sheet with a clean kitchen towel folded in half. Lay tofu slices in a single layer. Cover with another clean kitchen towel and a baking sheet. Place a heavy pot on top to press out as much liquid as possible. In a medium bowl, combine carrot, daikon, red onion, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, and salt. Stir until salt is dissolved, then press vegetables down to submerge in pickling liquid as much as possible. In a small bowl, combine mayo and Sriracha. In a blender, blend soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, cilantro, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Transfer dried tofu to a large plate. Pour marinade over tofu and turn to coat. Set aside two minutes. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Gently shake marinade off tofu. Cook tofu until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer tofu back into marinade for at least 10 minutes. Spread baguettes with spicy mayo. Top with tofu, cilantro, basil, pickled vegetables (shaking off pickling liquid first), cucumber, and jalapeños.
