Ingredients

  • 1 block tempeh
  • 2 tbsp ground toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp red miso
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ΒΌ cup water

Instructions

  • Mix together all ingredients except tempeh in a big bowl. Crumble tempeh into the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to cook, heat a wide pan over medium-low heat and add tempeh crumbles and marinade. Add a few splashes of water if the tempeh soaked up all the liquid. Cover pan and steam tempeh for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover pan and let the liquid cook off, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once the tempeh turns a darker golden brown and starts to char, turn off heat and tempeh is ready to serve.
