VEGAN BANH MI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Warm Worcestershire sauce, tamari, water, mushroom, black bean paste, shallot, garlic clove, and seaweed in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool. Drain sauce and discard the solids.
• Place tempeh in a bowl and pour 1/3 cup of the sauce on top. Marinate for 20 minutes, turning tempeh over halfway.
• Remove 1 teaspoon of the tempeh marinade and whisk together with vegan mayo and sriracha in a separate bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
• Arrange baguette pieces on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top. Toss and arrange bread into a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn bread and cook until browned, about 8 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place the tempeh on the baking sheet; reserve the liquid. Bake for 10 minutes, basting with some of the reserved marinade halfway through. Flip tempeh; bake, basting again, for 10 minutes more.
• Cut tempeh into cubes. Arrange the bread, tempeh, jalapeno slices, pickled daikon, carrot, cucumber, and cilantro into serving bowls. Top with sriracha mayo.

Steps:

• Put the shredded veg in a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Toss everything together, then set aside to pickle quickly while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the baguette into four, then slice each piece horizontally in half. Put the baguette pieces in the oven for 5 mins until lightly toasted and warm. Spread each piece with a layer of hummus, then top four pieces with the tempeh slices and pile the pickled veg on top. To serve, sprinkle over the herbs and squeeze over some hot sauce, then top with the other baguette pieces to make sandwiches.
