Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Start the tempeh

  • Pat the tempeh dry with a paper towel. Crumble or cut the tempeh into ¼-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan, combine the tempeh and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the tempeh and let cool slightly. Wipe the pan dry. While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the slaw.

2

Make the cucumber slaw

  • Trim the ends from the cucumbers. Lay the cucumbers flat; using a peeler, shave the cucumbers lengthwise into thin ribbons. Set aside the 6 [12] widest ribbons for the sliders.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining cucumber ribbons, cabbage, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] sugar (from your pantry), if using. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

3

Prep and cook the mushrooms

  • Finely chop the mushrooms.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic; set aside half for the sliders.
In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the mushrooms, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tamari and half the garlic and cook until fragrant and the mushrooms are coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. While the mushrooms are cooking, start preparing the sliders.

4

Prep and cook the sliders

  • Rinse the black beans.
In a large bowl, using a fork, masher, or the bottom of a bowl, mash the beans to a coarse paste. Add the tempeh, remaining garlic, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] miso-maple glaze and mix well to combine. Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, mash the tempeh mixture to form a coarse paste; season to taste with salt and pepper. Using wet hands, form the mixture into six [twelve] ½-inch-thick patties.
In the same pan used to soften the tempeh, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the patties and cook, turning once and brushing each side with the remaining miso-maple glaze, until lightly browned and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

5

Assemble the sliders

On a work surface, lay out the remaining cucumber ribbons and place a slider in the center of each one. Top the sliders with the mushroom mixture, then fold the ends of the cucumber ribbon around each slider.

Serve

Transfer the sliders and cucumber slaw to individual plates and serve.
