Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Cut cucumber into 1/4-inch rounds
  • Halve tomatoes. 
  • Drain, then roughly chop pickles.
  • Remove and discard outer layer of lettuce. Remove stem, then cut lettuce into 1/4-inch slices. 
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.)
  • Poke tofu all over with a fork. 
Coat tofu
2
  • Add panko to a shallow dish. 
  • Whisk egg in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Sprinkle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) flour all over tofu. Dip tofu into egg, turning to coat all sides. 
  • Transfer tofu to the shallow dish with panko. Turn to coat all sides.  
Fry tofu
3
  • Line a plate with paper towels. Set aside.
  • Heat a large non-sick pan over medium heat. 
  • When hot, add 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) oil, then tofu. Fry until golden-brown and crisp, 2-3 min per side. 
  • Transfer tofu to the prepared plate. Season with salt. 
Toast buns
4
  • Halve buns. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet, cut-sides up. Spread 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter on each half.
  • Toast in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
Toss salad
5
  • Set aside some shredded lettuce for sammies.
  • Add remaining lettuce, croutons, cucumbers, tomatoes and ranch to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Stir together hot sauce and honey in a small bowl. 
  • In another small bowl, combine mayo and chopped pickles.
  • Spread mayo-pickle mixture on top and bottom buns. Stack lettuce and tofu on bottom buns. Drizzle as much hot honey over top as desired. Close with top buns.
  • Divide tofu sammies and salad between plates.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many reviewers found the sammies surprisingly delicious, with one calling them "ridiculously amazing" and praising the flavours.
  • Ease of prep: Some cooks struggled with breading and cooking the tofu evenly; pre-sliced tofu chunks were challenging to work with.
  • Suggestions: Consider marinating and grilling the tofu instead of breading for added flavour without extra calories.
  • Texture: The crispy breading provided an enjoyable texture contrast, though some found the tofu too thick for optimal cooking.
