Ingredients

Marinade:
½ cup vegan Worcestershire sauce
½ cup tamari soy sauce
½ cup water
1 shiitake mushroom
1 tablespoon fermented black bean paste
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 strip nori seaweed
4 ½ ounces tempeh
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
1 (6 inch) French baguette, sliced into bite-sized cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
½ ounce pickled daikon, or to taste
½ ounce pickled carrot, or to taste
2 cucumber slices, or to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Warm Worcestershire sauce, tamari, water, mushroom, black bean paste, shallot, garlic clove, and seaweed in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool. Drain sauce and discard the solids.
Place tempeh in a bowl and pour 1/3 cup of the sauce on top. Marinate for 20 minutes, turning tempeh over halfway.
Remove 1 teaspoon of the tempeh marinade and whisk together with vegan mayo and sriracha in a separate bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
Arrange baguette pieces on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top. Toss and arrange bread into a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn bread and cook until browned, about 8 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
Place the tempeh on the baking sheet; reserve the liquid. Bake for 10 minutes, basting with some of the reserved marinade halfway through. Flip tempeh; bake, basting again, for 10 minutes more.
Cut tempeh into cubes. Arrange the bread, tempeh, jalapeno slices, pickled daikon, carrot, cucumber, and cilantro into serving bowls. Top with sriracha mayo.
Cook's Notes:
Nori, kombu, or wakame are all types of seaweed that work here.
Regular soy sauce may be substituted for tamari, if desired.
