Ingredients


150g leftover raw veggies

(such as red cabbage and carrots), shredded

3 tbsp good-quality vegan white wine vinegar

1 tsp golden caster sugar

1 long French baguette

100g hummus

175g cooked tempeh

very finely sliced

½ small pack coriander

leaves picked, to serve

½ small pack mint

leaves picked, to serve

hot sauce

to serve (we used sriracha)


step 1

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.


step 2

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.



Method 2


Ingredients:


- Baguette or banh mi bread 

- 1 block of firm tofu, sliced

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave

- 1/2 cup grated daikon radish

- 1/2 cup grated carrot

Instructions:


1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 

2. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup/agave, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Marinate the tofu slices in this mixture for about 15-20 minutes.

3. Place the marinated tofu slices on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until tofu is crispy on the outside.

4. While the tofu is baking, prepare your banh mi bread by lightly toasting it in the oven.

5. Assemble your banh mi sandwich by spreading vegan mayo on one side of the bread.

6. Layer the tofu slices on top of the mayo, then add the grated daikon radish, grated carrot, cilantro leaves, sliced jalapenos, and pickled jalapenos if using.
