How to Prepare Korean BBQ Tempeh Sandwich With Kale Slaw [Vegan]

Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium shallow bowl with the tempeh slices and allow to marinate 30 minutes, or more.
While tempeh is marinating, prepare the kale slaw dressing. In a small saucepan over medium heat, toast sesame oil for 5 minutes, until lightly fragrant. Keep an eye on it. Once cooled slightly, whisk in the rest of the dressing ingredients. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, relocate the tempeh and the marinade liquid. Set the heat to medium-high, until the liquid begins to bubble.
Let the tempeh simmer in the liquid on low for 30-45 minutes. By this time, most or all of the marinade will have absorbed into the tempeh or evaporated.
With the tempeh still hot, prepare your sandwiches. On one side of the sandwich spread avocado, topped by a handful of the kale slaw. Top with 1-2 pieces of the tempeh and top the sandwich with another piece of toast.
