Vegan Reuben Sandwich with Tempeh

This vegan Reuben sandwich is very easy to make. The classic American sandwich is made with whole food plant based ingredients and without any oil. We conjure up a corned beef out of tempeh that tastes so good and has the typical corned beef aromas that you can't get enough of it.

Instructions

  • Start by mixing all the ingredients for the corned tempeh except the tempeh in a bowl to form a marinade.
  • Corned beef is cut very thinly. And that's what we want for the corned tempeh too. It is therefore important that you cut the tempeh into very thin slices with a knife. To do this, halve or third the tempeh first and then cut off thin slices. You can cut 3-4 slices from it. If you have a bread slicer at home, you can also try to cut wafer-thin slices with it.
  • Just try out what works best for you.
  • Now put the tempeh slices in the marinade and mix everything well .. So that the whole tempeh is covered in the marinade.
  • Now let the tempeh sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or better overnight. So it gets a lot of taste.
  • Put the marinated tempeh in a coated pan and fry the tempeh well on both sides. If the tempeh is too dry for you put some of the marinade over it.
  • Assembling the SandwichPlace two slices of bread in a pan over medium heat. Now put a few slices of your tempeh on the bread. Depending on the thickness of the slices, several. Now put sauerkraut on your tempeh and pour a lot of dressing over it.
  • Cover the sandwich with the second slide and press it down lightly.
  • Continue with the rest of the sandwiches.
