Course Main Course
Servings 4 sandwiches

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ciabatta bun or any delicious sandwich bun
  • 1 ripe tomato sliced
  • 4 leaves of romaine/any type of lettuce
  • veg mayo
  • 1 brick of tempeh original, basil, or red pepper all work great!

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Steam tempeh for 10 minutes on the stovetop
  • Meanwhile prepare the marinade: whisk ingredients together in a bowl
  • Slice steamed tempeh into ½ cm thick slices
  • Lay tempeh slices in a flat shallow dish or pan with sides. Pour marinade over top, lift up slices so the bottom also gets coated in the marinade. Leave sit for a couple minutes – the slices should soak up the marinade
  • Follow either option to cook the tempeh.

Option 1: cook on the stove top

  • Heat a well-seasoned pan over medium high heat. Pan is ready when a splash of water sizzles.
  • Place tempeh strips in the pan, cook 3-4 minutes per side (strip should be browned and slightly crispy). When you flip baste with remaining marinade.

Option 2: bake in the oven

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Place marinated tempeh strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet
  • Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, flip and baste with remaining marinade
  • Bake for another 10 minutes until browned and slightly crispy

Assemble the sandwich

  • Toast the sandwich buns
  • Layer the sandwich; tempeh, lettuce, tomato, mayo
  • ENJOY!!

Notes

If you're feeling extra adventurous try making some garlic mayo: per 1/4 cup of mayo crush 1 clove of garlic.
