This Tempeh Marinade is an easy recipe to add flavors to tempeh and create the best high-protein vegan dinner. Plus, this marinade takes less than 5 minutes to make, and it's also gluten-free.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Tempeh (equivalent 1 block)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the tempeh into thin slices and place them into a dish that is not too large so the slices can soak well in the marinade in the next step or use an environmentally-friendly zip-lock bag.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, whisk all the marinade ingredients together. Taste the marinade and adjust with more maple syrup for a sweeter marinade or more chili for a spicy sauce.

  3. 3

    Pour the marinade over the tempeh slices, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and set aside for 2 hours in the fridge or overnight for the best flavors. I recommend flipping the slices after 1 hour so both sides are well marinaded, especially if the dish is slightly too wide. If in a bag, you don't have to do anything.

  4. 4

    Warm 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a non-stick pan over high-medium heat.
