The soy sauce measurements are obviously an error. I used 1 tbsp in place of the 1 c of soy sauce listed in the recipe (for both the tofu marinade and the Thai slaw) and the sandwiches came out great. Even my skeptical husband was impressed. The flavors are very interesting when everything comes together.
