We all have memories of devouring delicious sandwiches. Many years ago, for me, it was a BLT or a Rueben. Now I eat a more healthy diet but it’s just as delicious. Recently I stayed with a friend who is a strict Vegan and she made and shared the sandwich recipe below with me.

TEMPEH BACON, KIMCHI, AVOCADO & ARUGULA SANDWICH
Preparation time:  5 minutes. Cooking time: 5 minutes. Serves: 1

3 slices Tempeh bacon
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 slices of multi grain or sprouted bread
2 tbsp Kimchi
5 slices avocado
½ cup arugula

Cook bacon in coconut oil until golden crisp or how you like it. Toast bread and spread with Kimchi. Add cooked bacon, avocado slices, and arugula. Delicious!

Note: Tempeh bacon is quite tasty much healthier than regular bacon. A good alternative – less fat and cholesterol free.

 

QUICK CUCUMBER KIMCHI
Preparation time:  5 minutes. Marinating time: 15 minutes
Cooling time: 6 hours. Makes: 4 cups

4 cups coarsely chopped cucumbers, remove most of the seeds

1 tbsp raw local honey
2 tbsp coarse Korean red chili flakes
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

In a glass bowl mix together the cucumbers with salt and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the rest of the ingredients to form a paste. Rinse and drain the cucumbers then mix them in with the paste. Then, in a screw top jar, place all of the ingredients; pack down. Screw top on and put in the fridge for at least 6 hours before eating.

Note: Kimchi will last about three weeks, kept in the fridge and will become more flavorful.
