Instructions

For the Vegan Mayonnaise

1. Combine all of the ingredients except the vinegar (or if you chose, lemon juice) in a blender and blend the mixture until it is smooth.
2. Now take out the vinegar (or lemon juice) and slowly add the vinegar until the liquid thickens.  When all of the vinegar has been added to the previous mixture, pour out the entire mixture into a small bowl.

For the Sandwich

1. Spread the vegan mayo and Sriracha sauce on both slices of the rye bread, then layer the slices with tofu, avocado and sauerkraut.
2. Next, heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat, and sear both sides of the sandwich.  Be sure that you are careful when flipping the sandwiches so that they do not fall apart.
3. When you have seared both sides then place the sandwiches on a plate and slice in halves, then serve.
