Pan Seared Tofu Steak Sandwich
Tofu is a high protein, low-fat option that can be enjoyed in a myriad of ways. Here, we sear it over high heat with oyster mushrooms, green onions and lemony dressing on multigrain bread. Vegans and vegetarians will delight, and there’s also a high probability omnivore friends will be a bit jealous.
