Ingredients

• Tempeh - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Maple syrup - 30 ml
• Rice vinegar - 15 ml
• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Cornstarch - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 60 ml
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Slice the tempeh into 1 cm thick rectangles and steam for 10 minutes to soften.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until well combined to create the teriyaki sauce.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil if desired. Once hot, add the steamed tempeh slices.
4. Cook the tempeh for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
