Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large carrots
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 sheets nori sheets
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices crusty bread
- 0.5 cup vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 unit lemon
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin, flexible strips using a vegetable peeler or mandolin.
In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, liquid smoke, rice vinegar, crumbled nori sheets, maple syrup, olive oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the carrot strips to the marinade and ensure they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes. For the best results, refrigerate and marinate overnight.
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly sauté the marinated carrot strips for about 5 minutes until they become softer, resembling the texture of smoked salmon.
Toast the slices of crusty bread until golden brown.
Spread a generous amount of vegan cream cheese on each slice of toast.
Top the cream cheese with the carrot 'salmon', capers, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the topped toast for a burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan smoked 'salmon' on toast.
