Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces tempeh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 bun
  • toppings of choice

Instructions

  • Slice your tempeh into 1-inch wide strips.
    4 ounces tempeh
  • Add olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat and allow it to get hot (about 1 minute).
    2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Carefully add sliced tempeh to the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer tempeh strips to a paper towel and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before using a second paper towel to blot any excess oil off the top of the tempeh.
  • Smother tempeh strips in BBQ sauce by painting on with a pastry brush or tossing the tofu in the sauce in a large mixing bowl.
    ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • Assemble your sandwich by layering BBQ tempeh on the bottom bun and stacking your toppings on top. Finish with the top half of the bun and enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover tempeh will last 3-5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • I love using my own vegan BBQ sauce on this sandwich!
