How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 8 ounces tempeh
- 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed, avocado, or safflower oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or low-sodium tamari
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
Instructions
- Step 1: To help remove bitterness and soften the texture of the tempeh, place a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 1-inch of boiling water. Steam the tempeh for 6 to 8 minutes. Let the tempeh cool and the slice it into strips or cut it into triangles.
- Step 2: Stir together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, oil, aminos or tamari, maple syrup, and sriracha in a glass container or bowl. Add the sliced tempeh to the peanut sauce and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. While marinating, stir the tempeh at least once to ensure an even coating on both sides.
- Step 3: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the tempeh to a lined baking sheet, reserving any residual peanut sauce. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping the tempeh over halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the oven and toss with the residual peanut sauce marinade.
- Serve: Enjoy. This tempeh is great alongside Salad with Peanut Sauce and Vietnamese-Style Noodle Salad.
