Prep
- Tofu - If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first, like in this video. Then slice into 1/2” / 1.3 cm thick strips. (Make these fairly long and skinny so they will fit inside the tacos.) (Can be done 1 day ahead)
- Make Sriracha mayo - (If prepping right before cooking, get oven heating first.) Chop garlic. Combine with mayonnaise, lime juice, and Sriracha. Taste and adjust with more lime juice or Sriracha if you prefer. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Marinate tofu - Place tofu in a baking dish. Whisk together soy sauce (portion for tacos) and honey and pour over tofu. Toss to coat tofu. Marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to a day. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
- Green onions - Chop green onions, combining white and green parts. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Make coleslaw - Whisk together soy sauce (portion for coleslaw), vinegar, brown sugar, and oil. Add coleslaw mix, green onions, and sesame seeds. Toss to combine. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
- Avocados / Limes - Prep as directed.

Doubled the panko mixture after reading other reviews. Was glad I did. These turned out fantastic. Going on the favorites.

Loved it. Great flavor combinations. Would have halved the coleslaw and doubled the sriracha mayo.
0 HelpfulI used broccoli slaw mix instead of cole slaw mix. All in all, we liked it, but I found the flavor surprisingly mild. I'd probably jazz them up even more somehow if I repeated it.
0 HelpfulQuick and easy and tasty. Used rockfish because I had it, added avocado because I had it and added a bit more sriracha to give it more kick. Had cauliflower on the side (leftovers from the lentil tacos made earlier this week)
0 HelpfulA great fish recipe, works well with salmon in addition to white fish... comes together easily. On our favorites list!
