Mix together the soya sauce and maple syrup and place into the bottom of a plate or shallow bowl
Cut your tempeh into thin slices
Put a splash of oil into a frying pan and place it on a medium-high heat
Once the pan is hot, add your tempeh slices and fry for a few minutes before flipping and cooking for the same time on the other side. The outside of the tempeh should be a lovely golden brown colour
Move the cooked tempeh slices from the pan to the bowl with the sweet soya sauce mix. Mix the tempeh into the sauce until they are well coated and set aside for later
Place your sourdough bread slices onto a chopping board and spread vegan cream cheese on one half and vegan kimchi on the other
If you are using, add the sriracha sauce on top of the kimchi and spread it about
Place the cooked tempeh slices on top of the vegan cream cheese and then fold the two halves of bread together to form a whole toastie
Heat up your sandwich press or frying pan whilst you butter the outside of the toasties
Place the toastie inside your cooking device and cook for a few minutes on each side, until the bread goes golden brown
Slice it and serve!
