Ingredients

2 tablespoons|30 ml vegetable oil
3 1/2 ounces|100 grams tempeh, sliced 1/3-inch thick
1 1/2 tablespoons|20 ml soy sauce/tamarind
2 teaspoons|10 ml liquid smoke

6 tablespoons|70 grams mayonnaise

sourdough or Turkish bread, halved lengthwise and toasted

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over high. Add the tempeh and cook, flipping once, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and liquid smoke and cook until even more crispy, glistening and slightly blackened, about 2 minutes longer.

2. In a small bowl, mix the mayo with the hot sauce. Slather the bread with mayo on one slice and avocado on the other then a thick layer of the tempeh bacon. Add lettuce and tomatoes on top of bacon and add some extra hot sauce for good measure, put the top on, slice in half, and enjoy!
