Ingredients
- 1 block of tempeh
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- Flavor Sauce:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or aminos
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave
- 1/4 tsp liquid smoke

- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika

Steps
1
Cut the tempeh into thin strips or thin squares.
2
Place the tempeh in a dry pan over medium heat.
3
Once the tempeh has gotten crispy on one side, flip it over to get crispy on the other side.
4
Next add about 2 tbsp of coconut oil or olive oil.
5
While the tempeh is cooking, add all the flavor sauce ingredients into a mixing bowl and measuring cup, and stir thoroughly.
6
Once the tempeh has gotten crispy on both sides add the flavor sauce and cook in the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Take the tempeh off the burner and don’t let it burn.
7
Put the tempeh on some paper towels to get the excess oil off.
8
Toast the bread, and then add vegan mayo on both sides
9
Add lettuce and then a slice of tomato. On the tomato, I like to add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
