Cook’s Tips

Make the vegan tempeh bacon in a large batch. It keeps well for up to a month in the fridge.
Toast the bread beforehand for an extra crunch.
For another smoky, vegan sandwich idea check out my vegan pulled jackfruit sandwich. Jackfruit is another plant-based meat alternative and wonder ingredient. Because of its soaking abilities, and its stringy, meat-like texture it makes a fantastic pulled pork substitute. I love it piled high on a toasted bun and served with a crisp coleslaw.
