Golden Lentil Veggie Tempeh Bánh-Mì Style Sandwich

Tempeh makes the great addition to a banh-mi style sandwich. And the best part? It’s super simple to make. All you need is quick-pickled veg, good bread, a punchy sauce and a great protein.

Our Golden Lentil Veggie Tempeh is naturally packed with protein and so quick and easy to prepare. Tossed in a sesame, soy sauce and gochujang glaze and pan-fried until golden, it makes a seriously good sandwich filling, especially with this chilli-oil whipped tofu spread.

This sandwich is fresh, full of flavour and is a great way of getting more real food into your weekly meals.
