Ingredients
- 4 pieces Plain plant-based bread slices
- 4 tablespoons Vegan kaya (coconut jam)
- 4 teaspoons Vegan butter
- 2 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by laying out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan kaya evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Step 3
Add 1 teaspoon of vegan butter on top of the kaya on each slice. Spread slightly to distribute.
Step 4
Sandwich two slices of bread together, with the kaya and butter sides facing inward. Repeat with the remaining bread slices to create two sandwiches.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer by adding 2 cups of water to the bottom pot and bringing it to a gentle boil.
Step 6
Place the sandwiches on a heatproof plate or into a steamer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even steaming.
Step 7
Cover the steamer with its lid and steam the sandwiches for 7 to 10 minutes until they are warm and slightly softened.
Step 8
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the steamer using tongs or a kitchen towel to avoid burns.
Step 9
Slice the steamed sandwiches in half for easy serving, and enjoy them warm while the vegan butter and kaya are perfectly melted together.
