Ingredients

• Tempeh - 200 grams
• Hoisin sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated

Steps

1. Slice the tempeh into 1/2-inch thick rectangles.
2. In a bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
