I hate tofu but love tempeh and this sandwich is tangy and tasty. My boyfriend and I eat this all the time. It's great because it's vegan for him and I still like it (even though I'm not a vegetarian).

1 package tempeh (I use 3 grain)
pure maple syrup
white wine vingear

salt

Tips:

  • Choose firm tempeh. Soft or extra-firm tempeh can be too crumbly or chewy for sandwiches.
  • Press the tempeh. This helps to remove excess moisture and makes the tempeh more flavorful.
  • Marinate the tempeh. This is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the tempeh.
  • Cook the tempeh thoroughly. Tempeh should be cooked until it is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Tempeh sandwiches can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, sprouts, cheese, and condiments.
  • Get creative! There are endless possibilities for tempeh sandwiches. Experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your favorite combination.
