It was my designated ‘vegetarian day’ and I was supposed to make a vegetarian sandwich for lunch but I was naughty and I cheated with a slice of shaved ham because it was available in the fridge, lol. But come to think of it, even without the ham, the sandwich would have tasted good too because of the different layers of textures and flavours from all ingredients that really combined well with one another. The highlight for me was the firm beancurd and mashed chickpeas which I had never thought of adding to a sandwich before and they were just gorgeous in this. Bon appetit!
