Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- place the block of tempeh in a pan of boiling water, over a medium heat. Bring to boil then simmer for 15 minutes. This will help to reduce any bitterness. Drain then allow to cool slightly. Then thinly slice.
- place all the ingredients for the tempeh marinade in a small bowl and mix together.
- Heat a griddle pan over a medium to low heat. Brush with olive oil. Then cook the tempeh for a few minutes on each side, until starting to turn golden.
- Pour over the marinade, allowing the tempeh to thoroughly bathe in it. Let it bubble away for a few minutes, then flip and cook for a further 3 mins, until the marinade has throughly soaked up & the tempeh is starting to turn crispy.
- butter both sides of the bread, then in a separate pan, fry for couple minutes on each side, until toasted.
- to build the sandwiches, smother one side of the toast with mayo, then lay over the lettuce, tempeh, sliced tomatoes, avocado & pickled onions(if using)
- enjoy
