Sweet Tempeh Banh Mi

March 8, 2017

Ever tried some Vietnamese banh mi? They are super tasty and fresh. This sweet tempeh banh mi is a vegan alternative which doesn’t compromise on the strong flavors.

Sweet Tempeh Banh Mi. Super delicious!

The traditional Vietnamese baguette is made with a combination of rice and wheat flour. Banh mi actually means wheat bread in Vietnamese and was brought to Vietnam by the French during the colonial period.  What the western world understands as banh mi though is a baguette stuffed with meat. Though this is often the case, banh mi’s are so diverse that you can find them filled with almost anything.

Sweet Tempeh Banh Mi tofu, carrots, cucumbers, baguett, mint, cilantro and sriracha

This sweet tempeh banh mi is one of those variations. What’s so wonderful about this recipe is the strong flavor the tempeh provides to the sandwich itself. It’s sweet and smoky, a perfect contrast to the light and fresh cucumber, mint, and coriander.
