Instructions

Pat dry the tofu and press for 10 minutes (or as much time as you have) then slice into 1cm thick slices. Whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Place the tofu in a shallow dish and pour over the marinade.
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Fry the tofu in batches, pouring over some of the marinade to get it extra sticky. It will need a couple of minutes on each side until it's browned and crisp.
Put the onion slices in a sieve over the sink and pour over 500ml (2 cups) of boiling water. Mix the vinegar, salt and sugar in a container you can use to store the onions. Add the onions and peppercorns and set aside until ready to use.
Cut open the baguettes and spread with mayo. Stuff with the tofu slides, pickled onions, rocket, coriander and a drizzle of sriracha.
