Ingredients

  • 1 block of tofu, cut into 1" slices
  • Corn tortillas
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • coriander, for garnish

Maui Burger Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-free Tamari sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic, grated (about 1-2 cloves)
  • 1/2 in fresh ginger, grated

Mango Salsa

  • 2 cups mangos
  • red onion
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup coriander
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (or to taste)
  • Salt to taste

Lime dressing:

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo
  • 1 lime, juiced with its rind

Instructions

  • If you are not using the leftover Maui burgers sauce, here's a simplified version. In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, Teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
  • Add in your tofu to the sauce. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Mix in all your ingredients for the mango salsa and refrigerate until it is time to serve. The flavour will continue to develop, and I would even say that the next day is even better!
  • Next, prepare your lime dressing and refrigerate.
  • Fry up your tofu to brown on both sides, approximately 5 minutes each side.
  • In a dry pan, heat your tortillas 30 seconds on each side and cover with a towel until ready to serve.
  • To assemble, take your tortilla and place your fried tofu in the center. Put a small amount of purple cabbage and then the mango salsa. Drizzle a little lime dressing and sprinkle some more coriander. Enjoy!
