Equipment

  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 Frying Pan / Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 200 g tempeh
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp hing
  • 1 tbsp water

Toppings

  • 2 slices Sourdough
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 tbsp Pesto

Instructions

  • Chop tempeh into rectangular slices, from 3 to 6 cm long. Anything in that range would work!
  • Prepare the marinade: soy sauces, smoked paprika, hing, water. Marinate the tempeh in the mixture for 5-10 minutes or overnight if you have time to spare.
  • Deep fry to get a crispy texture. You can also pan fry* or air fry* the tempeh to use minimal oil.

Notes

  1. If you are not deep frying your tempeh, you can try pan frying or air frying for a slightly longer time to get a charred look and taste of the tempeh. 
  2. For gluten free option, substitute soy sauces with tamari instead. You can also replace your bread with gluten free bread.
