you washed your hands ... couple days ago?! haha

[livelife365]

@k0d14k1 at least a day ago...

That looks so delicious! Your videos often make me hungry.

You mentioned you would normally cook the sandwich in a pan with butter. If you still want that great butter flavor but don't want the dairy or cholesterol you can use Earth Balance. You can find it at markets such as Whole Foods and Trader Joes

I have tried that vegan mayo you used and there is one that, IMO, is much better. It's called Veganaisse. I don't think Trader Joes carries it but markets such as Whole Foods and even Ralphs do.

Awesome! I do not consume any wheat products at all, but I can eat anything as a salad, so this is a definite "must-have." Thank you!

What brand of tempeh do you use?

Love your videos Mike! I noticed that your spices aren't organic. Have you ever tried organic spices? They are great! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing :)

Oops - of course I meant steam the tempeh for 15 minutes, not steam the sandwich! Wouldn't that be a soggy disaster! LOL

[honeybear64]

Recipe looks terrific, Mike. I'm trying it this evening, as a matter of fact.

Tip: if you steam the tempeh before marinating, it helps in two ways - it cuts down on the sometimes bitter taste of tempeh out of the package, PLUS it helps the tempeh accept the marinade more readily, resulting in a tastier finished product.

Tempeh should be cooked for a TOTAL of 20 minutes, so if you braise the sandwich for, say, 5 minutes, then you should steam it for 15 minutes beforehand, for 20 min. total.
