Vegan Banh Mi

1 carrot
rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 onion
oil
1/2 block extra firm tofu in slices
4 tbsp soy sauce
dash chili powder
1 tbsp sugar
cilantro
mayonnaise
long slices of cucumber
1 small white baguette
salt to taste

Peel shavings of the carrot into a bowl and soak in rice vinegar and 1/3 cup sugar. Meanwhile, fry thin onion rings in oil til soft, then add slices of tofu. In a small box, mix 4 tbsp soy sauce, dash chili powder, 1 tbsp sugar and then pour over the tofu and fry, flipping over regularly, until the sauce has been soaked up.

Cut open the baguette, peel out the soft bread from one side, then liberally spread mayonnaise on the other side. Layer tofu slices with some of the onion, pickled carrot shavings, long slices of cucumber, a generous serving of cilantro leaves, and salt to taste.
