Tofu finger sandwiches – the delicious fingers are crispy on the outside and squidgy on the inside.
Served in a ciabatta bun with fresh and minty peas and creamy but tart tartar sauce. It’s an amazing taste and texture combination.
I have been meaning to create this recipe for ages – it’s such a fun and delicious way to eat tofu. I challenge even the most sceptical not to like this one.
If you’d like to see how to make this, head over to my Instagram to check out the video.
Note – I made 6 very large chunky fingers – but you can make smaller ones for more portions.
I really hope you love this super tasty recipe.
Much love, Niki xxx

Ingredients
- 1 pack firm tofu drained and sliced into long finger shapes
For the batter
- 130 g plain flour
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 250 ml water
For the crumb
- 100 g panko breadcrumbs
- Pinch chilli flakes
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- Pinch sea salt
For the flour dip
- 50 g plain flour
- 3- 4 ciabatta buns - depending on how large you make the tofu fingers
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the tartar sauce
- 3 tbsp plant based natural yogurt
- Juice 1/2 lemon.
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp dill pickles
- 3 tsp mini capers
- 2 tbsp dill chopped
- Pinch each sea salt and black pepper.
Instructions
To make the minty peas
200g frozen peas defrosted
Sea salt and pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Squeeze lemon
To make the tartar sauce
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine.
To make the crushed peas
Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz to combine.
To make the tofu fingers
First, make the batter by mixing the flour in a bowl with the water and oil to make a pancake batter style consistency.
In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, chilli flakes, turmeric, sesame seeds, garlic powder and salt
Add plain flour to a third bowl.
Slice the tofu into chunky fingers (I made 6 huge ones)
Now dip each piece in the flour, then the batter, then finally in the breadcrumbs.
Ensure the tofu is really well coated.
To cook the tofu fingers
Preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, fry for around 2-3 minutes on each side–or until the breadcrumbs are golden.
Once they’re cooked, place them on a tray.
To serve
Top the base of the buns with minty peas, then the tofu fingers, then the tartar sauce.
Place the lid on top.

This looks fantastic. How much mint is required for the minty peas? I couldn’t see any listed in the recipe or ingredients list. Huge thanks for any clarification you can give.
PS. Your puy lentil stew on a bed of hummus is a staple in my house. So delicious.
