Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces tempeh
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 1 large avocado
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the tempeh strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the tempeh is marinating, slice the tomato and avocado into thin slices and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated tempeh strips and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden and crispy on both sides.
Spread a generous layer of vegan mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
To assemble the sandwich, layer the cooked tempeh, tomato slices, avocado slices, and lettuce leaves. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Top with another slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
Secure the sandwich with toothpicks before slicing in half to serve. Repeat for each serving.
