Shot from the night before which shows the interior:

I pressed slices of firm tofu on towels to pull out excess moisture before marinading it in a blend of garlic, ginger, lime, fish sauce, and hoisin, and then searing. Topped with fresh mint, cilantro, parsley, cucumber, and serrano, as well as some quick pickled carrot, red onion, and radish. I also added some leftover herbed yogurt sauce for the heck of it, which turned out pretty good.


Nice! Looks good. My only suggestion is maybe try soy curls instead of straight tofu, texture tends to be better. Made those a few times (figured out the recipe from a local Vietnamese bakery), tastes soo good.
