  3. Set a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add coconut oil. Once melted, add the tempeh patties, one by one, careful not to overlap them in the pan if possible. Cook the tempeh on medium heat for 9 minutes a side, or until golden brown. season with salt and pepper.

  4. To assemble, cut each burger bun in half. Add 2 tbsp of the mayo to the bottom half of the bun, followed by 1 triangle of tempeh, ¼ cup of loosely packed pickled cabbage and extra cilantro.
