- In a bowl, whisk together the soya sauce, hoisin sauce, maple syrup, garlic, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Place the sliced tofu in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.
- In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar, water, sugar and 1tsp salt until the sugar and salt dissolve. Divide between 2 bowls.
- Julienne the carrot and finely slice the radish. Place separately in the bowls of the pickling liquid. Toss to coat. Leave them to pickle for at least 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine vegan mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce and lime juice.
- Heat a medium-sized pan over a medium-high heat. Place the marinated tofu slices in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy.
- Halve and toast the baguettes. Finely slice the cucumber.
