In a shallow dish, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
Add the tempeh strips to the marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated tempeh strips to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Toast the slices of rye bread in a toaster or in the oven.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread thousand island dressing on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Top two slices of the bread with the cooked tempeh strips, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy, flipping halfway through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
