  3. Slice the pressed tofu into uniform thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  4. Marinate the tofu slices for at least 15 minutes, ensuring each piece is coated well.
Grilling
  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Grill the marinated tofu slices until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  3. Spread vegan butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches with grilled tofu and a drizzle of spicy tahini sauce between the slices with buttered sides facing out.
  5. Cook the assembled sandwiches on medium heat until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
