Method

1. Press the extra-firm tofu to drive out water, then cut it into slabs and season.
2. Coat the tofu in cornstarch and crisp it in a hot pan until the edges are firm and golden.
3. Stir the BBQ sauce, ketchup, lime juice, and veggie stock together, pour it over the tofu, and let it reduce until the tofu is glazed and saucy.
4. Toss the sliced red onion and jalapeño with lime juice, sugar, and salt and leave them to pickle while you cook — 20 minutes is enough to take the raw bite off.
5. Whisk the vegan mayo with garlic, lime juice and zest, salt, and pepper.
6. Toast the bread, then build: mayo, tofu, pickled vegetables.
