Vegan sandwiches don't get any better than this. Hearty tempeh, which has been cooked down in a salty and gingery dashi. The sharpness of the sour sauerkraut, and the crunchiness of the fresh lettuce! 

Today for made my self a sandwich. a sandwich with toasted whole wheat bread, homemade horseradish mustard (I just found out that mustard is the easiest thing to make your self), some of the tempeh I had fried and cooked down in a shoyu, shitaki, ginger dashi earlier, some sauerkraut (tempeh and sauerkraut are an amazing combo!)

topped with some fresh lettuce and tomato and bam! delicious sandwich! 

For someone like me who has a difficult time coming up with good sandwich combinations, I am pretty happy with this one.

Making Sandwiches from scratch for around a 100 people is no easy task, and yes it is not the ideal meal for someone who is quieting down their diet....but for the rest of us it is sure fun and delicious.
There is a girl in Ionia who has made a name for herself of making some pretty amazing Sandwiches and it is pretty amazing she made them for all of us.
I actually ate my Sandwich the next day so I toasted my bread up, if anyone can notice.

After a yummy lunch like that we went simpler for dinner with a warm yummy porridge
