Main IngredientBeans
Ingredients
for frying the tempeh
2 Pkg. Tempeh, any style
¼ C. Tamari soy sauce
¼ C. Vegetable oil
for the sandwich
1 large ripe but firm tomato sliced
4-8 green lettuce leaves
1 small red onion sliced thin
3 sliced roasted red pepper strips ( optional)
4 slices Swiss cheese ( optional)
4 or 5 Tbl. of Russian dressing ( alternatively mix vegan mayo with ketchup)
4-8 slices of hearty sandwich bread
Butter, vegan margarine or vegetable oil for brushing
Directions
Tamari Tempeh
Take a package of tempeh, any style, and cut into quarters. Take each quarter and slice in half, so you have eight thinner slices. Heat 3-4 T. of oil in a nonstick skillet. Fry each slice until golden brown and turn to cook the other side. When the tempeh is done, remove and set onto a paper towel for a minute or so. Brush each side with tamari soy sauce while the tempeh is still hot.
Heat a heavy skillet on medium for grilling the sandwiches. Prepare each slice of bread with lettuce, tomato, red onion, peppers if using, tempeh and cheese, if using. Top the cover slice with dressing. Brush the top of the sandwich with butter, margarine or a little vegetable oil and grill brushed side down in the skillet. Now brush the remaining top. Grill until nice and toasty. Enjoy!

great sandwich, but the health factor went out the window with all that shotening. An alternative is a touch of oil spray to give you a nice tosted texture without all the fat.

I couldnt find it at Safeway (local grocery store) or the Asian market. Ended up using Tofu instead, and it was just delicious. I am sure I can find this at Whole Foods but I didnt try. May be next week :)

Tamari literally means liquid pressed from soybeans, originally it was the thick brown liquid that pooled in casks of fermenting soybean miso. For centuries this tamari was a rare delicacy reserved for special occasions. Eventually producers learned to brew tamari as a liquid soy sauce that had similar characteristics as the original by-product of miso. This tamari is brewed from whole soybeans, sea salt, water, and koji (Aspergillus hacho). Tamari is wheat free and popular with those who have wheat allergies. Also, if you have the opportunity look for Shoyu soy sauce. These two, Tamari and Shoyu are like the Rolls Royce of soy condiment sauces, inexpensive and really wonderful!

Tempeh is available in most mainstream grocery stores in the U.S. Look in the produce section, usually next to tofu. If you are unable to find it there, check out any whole food markets, health food stores or Asian markets. if it's still a problem write me back and I'll find it somewhere for you! Thanks for the kind comments and I hope you'll be able to make this sandwich... It really is DELICIOUS! Toni

Tempeh is made from whole soybeans, so it's a fiber-rich food. It's also a generous source of many nutrients such as protein, calcium, B-vitamins and iron. Being fermented it's easily digested, has great texture and the nutrients are easily absorbed. Thankfully, with all the recent negative hype about soy, tempeh has, because of it's unique properties, avoided all the controversy!
