Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by marinating the tempeh slices in soy sauce for at least 30 minutes to infuse them with flavor.
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh slices and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Spread vegan butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. Place the bread slices buttered side down on a clean surface.
-
On four of the bread slices, layer the cooked tempeh slices, sauerkraut, vegan Swiss cheese, and a generous dollop of vegan Russian dressing. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
-
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer the assembled sandwiches to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
-
Once the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese has melted, remove them from the skillet and let them sit for a minute to cool slightly before slicing in half.
-
Serve the Tempeh Reuben Sandwich hot with a side of pickles or a fresh garden salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
