Cut your drained and pressed tofu to fit your buns. Then, in a bowl mix soy sauce, 3 tablespoons water, maple syrup, tomato paste, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and liquid smoke. Next, transfer the tofu slices to the marinade and cover it completely. Leave to marinate for at about 30 minutes, flipping the tofu in the marinade.
Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, ½ cup water, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Then add the carrots and radishes to pickle for 15 minutes.
After that, in a bowl, combine the aquafaba mayo or regular mayo with sriracha and a pinch of salt. Set aside while you prepare the rest.
In a pan heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the tofu slices on both sides, until golden and crispy. When done, transfer to a paper towel.
After that, heat the slider buns in a grill pan until golden. Spread sriracha mayo on each side. Then top with cucumber slices, fried tofu, pickled veggies, green onion slices, chili pepper slices, and fresh cilantro. Cover with the top bun, and serve while warm.
