what part of this is meant to be döner kebap? It refers to a style of cooking layers of ... meat , but let's assume it can be any layered protein, on a vertical spit, for a long period of time, shaving off the parts that have cooked from the outside inwards.

Tofu isn't meat, and I would love to know that you can do the rest of it in the style of a döner.

If you just said kebap, I wouldn't have minded so much, as that's more of a "grill"and you can certainly grill tofu no problem.

While "döner kebap" means spinning skewer in Turkish (I think?), it's internationally known as the name of a dish that originated in Berlin. This dish contains meat from said skewer, but also vegetables, particularly cabbage, and garlic/yoghurt sauce, in a turkish style flatbread.

A tofu version of said dish is what's being posted. This obviously doesn't involve a large spinning skewer or real meat, but its a variation on the dish so it makes sense to call it that.

NO IT ISN'T

Only ignorant germans claim those lies. Döner kebap has been named, eaten and sold in the ottoman empire for fucks sake. Yes, even in bread, it's called ekmek arası (döner kebap).

quoting the article you linked:

The modern sandwich variant of doner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.[5][6][7] This was recognized by the Berlin-based Association of Turkish Döner Manufacturers in Europe in 2011.[8]

but it kinda doesn't matter where it was invented, point is that most people absolutely mean this dish when they say döner kebab.

That looks incredible, do you have a recipe?

It's from a German cooking app, but here's a short summary in English:

I used

  • 200g smoked tofu
  • 1-2 red onions
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp grounded Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp grounded red pepper
  • 2 tbsp plant oil

Start with cutting the tofu in thin slices (either use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler). Cut the onion in slices or half rings. Then mix all the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to your liking

Either fry in a pan or an air fryer without adding additional fat.

For the dip:

  • Greek yogurt and
  • half fat curd (40:60)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 small cloves of garlic (minced)
  • add some mint of you like the taste, fits very well

Mix everything and add salt, pepper and chilli flakes if you want.

Besides that I used:

  • fresh pide (or any other kind of Turkish style bread you like)
  • roma salad
  • tomato
  • cucumber
  • red cabbage
