Tempeh Bánh Mì

Our VEGAN take on a classic from the land of VIET-nom-nom-nom
 
PICKLED VEGGIES
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups filtered water
1 tablespoon raw sugar
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 small carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 daikon, peeled and cut into matchsticks
 
-Cover and let sit for 1 hour. -
 
TEMPEH MARINADE
2-3 TBSP soy sauce
2 TBSP "fish sauce"
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 TBSP sriracha
Juice of 2 limes
1 TBPS white sugar
 
Defrost a block of PURA TEMPEH and cut into thirds. This recipe can make two sandwiches easy, so place 1/3 back in the fridge for later and then slice up the other 2/3s into strips. Plop these strips in the marinade and set it in the fridge for an hour or so. If you have a SOUS-VIDE cooker, go ahead and submerge your marinade and SOUS-VIDE it at 56 degrees C for about an hour.
 
- 1 Hour Later-
Fry marinated tempeh in canola oil for a couple minutes on both sides
 
SRIRACHA AIOLI
2 TBSP Sriracha (more or less to taste)
-MIX-
 
CONSTRUCTION
Cut 1 baguette into 4 pieces, halved lengthwise and lightly toasted
Spread SRIRACHA AIOLI on both sides of your toasted baguette
Thinly slice CUCUMBERS and place on the bottom of your sandwich
Place fried and marinated TEMPEH on top of cucumber slices
Add the PICKLED VEGGIES to the sandwich after draining a bit of the liquid
