Start by laying out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan kaya evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Add 1 teaspoon of vegan butter on top of the kaya on each slice. Spread slightly to distribute.
Sandwich two slices of bread together, with the kaya and butter sides facing inward. Repeat with the remaining bread slices to create two sandwiches.
Prepare a steamer by adding 2 cups of water to the bottom pot and bringing it to a gentle boil.
Place the sandwiches on a heatproof plate or into a steamer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even steaming.
Cover the steamer with its lid and steam the sandwiches for 7 to 10 minutes until they are warm and slightly softened.
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the steamer using tongs or a kitchen towel to avoid burns.
Slice the steamed sandwiches in half for easy serving, and enjoy them warm while the vegan butter and kaya are perfectly melted together.
