On a Budget Open face Tofu Sandwich

Yum....

This recipe is so ridiculously easy, quick and delicious!

To start with you will need a block of tofu. Of course, organic is always best but I have found Organic Sprouted Tofu at Trader Joe's and it is delicious!

Sprouted grains are higher in nutrients so sprouted tofu is generally higher in protein, iron and calcium as compared to regular tofu. The only thing is that I think it is also higher in fat and calories....

I dont want to get into the 'Great Soy Debate' here in this blog post but if you have heard that soy is bad for you I will quickly say that soy is ok in moderation. Most processed products particularly here in the US contain a lot of soy by- products like soybean oil and that I would definitely avoid! But fermented soy products like tempeh and even tofu is good in moderation.

Anyway, back on to the recipe! So to marinate the tofu I used the cheap combination of ketchup, soy sauce and garlic. Just a splash of each and then I rubbed each tofu steak in finely chopped garlic. So cheap! And surprisingly tasty. Fry it up with a bit of spray oil until the outside is golden and its cooked through.

Serve on either toasted sprouted grain or wheat free bread with some avocado, feta cheese, spinach leaves and ketchup and mustard if you wish.

Cheap.

Filling.

Tasty.

Healthy.

Enjoy!
