Tofu Avocado Toast

This is a delicious and nutrition loaded toast that is simple to make. A perfect toast topped with mashed avocados and pan fried tofu, drizzled with sriracha Mayo is a quick and tasty meal to start the day.

Why is this avocado tofu toast so great?

Avocado toast can be made in many ways. This toast is easy, delicious, nutritious, and the best part is that the individual components can be made ahead. Guacamole can be made ahead or store-bought ones can be used. Tofu can be marinated quickly and pan-fried, or make this ahead and reheat it in the morning. Add everything to your toast and that makes the morning pleasant without any tension or stress. Simple and great way to start the day, right?

Ingredients required to make this toast are:

Sourdough bread - I am a great fan of sourdough. Plus a toast with the crusty loaf also holds the toppings well. Any crusty loaf can be used in the recipe

Avocado/guacamole - The start of the toast. Creamy avocado makes the toast heavenly and filling and is loaded with good nutrition. We love guacamole and I always have a tub ready in the fridge for quick meals.  Along with the garlic, cilantro, salt, and lime, guacamole boosts the flavor of the toast. Keep it chunky or smooth. As guacamole can be made ahead, it makes mornings easier. I prefer to use my homemade guacamole, but store-bought guacamole can be used too. Slices of avocados can be used or they can be mashed slightly on the toast.

Tofu - This gives the protein that is essential to kick start the day. The marinade is made with gochujang, ginger, and garlic. This is so tasty! Marinade it overnight and panfry in the morning, or make it ahead and reheat on the pan when serving.

Alfalfa sprouts - I am a huge fan of these sprouts. These sprouts loaded with good micronutrients find a spot in our sandwiches and wraps. This is optional but I highly recommend this as this is a good source of nutrition.

Sriracha Mayo - A drizzle of this perfectly balances and elevates the flavors.

Cilantro - Boosts flavors.

Corn flour - This helps in crispy tofu.

Sesame seeds - Adds nutty flavor

Marinade - The simple marinate is made with spicy gochujang paste, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and brown sugar.

Oil - to pan fry the tofu.

This simple avocado is a trending recipe for quite some time. Though it is a staple here for any meal, it never came to the blog. This week I am sharing this simple avocado toast for Blogging Marathon under the theme “Trending Recipes” and my earlier share was the Rose Rasmalai Crinkle, rose and rasmalai spin on the viral crinkle dessert.
