Tempeh sandwich

I first discovered tempeh at a small cafe in the back of a health food store. They served as a "tempeh ruben". It's a great substatute for meat in various dishes. For those of you who don't know, Tempeh is fermented soybeans. This is my recipe, but there really is alot you can do with it.

Tempeh veggie sandwich

I get tempeh from Trader Joes(next to the meats, top shelf, by the soy cheese. ;))

.cut tempeh loaf in half and then again long ways

. soak each peice on a plate with soy/tamari sauce(don't worry about too much sauce, the tempeh doesn't absorb very much)

.season with salt and pepper

.fry in a pan with a little bit of oil

I usually complete the sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and avocado.
