Directions
Be sure to use the firm, Chinese-style tofu rather than the soft or regular tofu. It tastes best after it has been marinated for several days.
Prepare the grill if you are grilling the tofu, and grill it on both sides, about 6 inches above the coals, until it is well-browned and a little crispy. Otherwise, broil the tofu on both sides. Spread the bread with mayonnaise and horseradish to taste. Slice the tofu in half, crosswise, to make pieces 1/2-inch thick, and cut the pieces to fit the bread. Arrange the tomato slices on the tofu, and salt and pepper them; add the onion if desired. Cover with the lettuce and another slice of bread.
