Description
A delicious and crispy tempeh banh mi sandwich topped with pickled vegetables, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (8 ounces) tempeh, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup daikon radish, julienned
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 small baguettes or hoagie rolls
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Sliced jalapeños, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the sliced tempeh and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the julienned cucumber, carrots, and daikon radish. Let the vegetables pickle for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the tempeh from the marinade and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated. Spread the tempeh on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the tempeh is baking, mix mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl (if using).
- Slice the baguettes or hoagie rolls lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Spread the spicy mayonnaise inside each roll.
- Once the tempeh is done, layer it inside the rolls along with the pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy tempeh banh mi!
Notes
- For added crunch, consider adding sliced radishes or crispy fried onions on top of the banh mi.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add more sriracha to the mayonnaise or include sliced fresh chilies in the sandwich.
