Ingredients
- 4 ounce baked tofu, cut into cubes
- 1 12-inch french-style baguette, sliced in two, then sliced in half horizontally
- 2 large radishes, sliced thin with a mandolin
- 1/4 cup cucumbers, sliced thin with a mandolin
- 1/2 cup carrot, cut into matchstick pieces

- juice from half a lime
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic chili paste (or another type of hot sauce)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

- While the bread is toasting, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice and garlic chili paste and mix well.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly. Drain the marinade.
- Spread the mayo mixture on the bottom half of the bread.
- Add the tofu and top with the carrot-radish mixture, then with the cucumber, jalapeno slices and top with the cilantro.
