Instructions

In a small bowl, marinate tempeh with tamari, maple syrup, and paprika. On a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, bake the tempeh in the oven for
about 15 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed by the tempeh. -
In a small frying pan, heat canola oil over medium heat. Sauté shallots for 3 minutes or until they turn light golden Remove from pan and strain. Use the same pan to sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Set aside.
-
In a small bowl, mix all dry ingredients for the batter, then, add soy milk, water, and mix well. Let it rest for a minute.
-
In a medium skillet, place a rice paper and spread the batter evenly on it. Over medium heat, toast it for 10 minutes or until the bottom of rice paper turns brown.
-
While it is toasting, top with tempeh “bacon”, sautéed shallots and garlic, and green onion.
-
Once done, remove from heat and top with sunflower seeds and cashew cream sauce.
Note
- Most of the ingredients can be sourced in a Chinese market.
- The shallot infused oil can be reserved and used in other recipes.
- The batter can be too thick if it sits for a long time. Mix it with more water if needed.
