Embark on a culinary journey with our delectable Teriyaki Tempeh, a symphony of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds. This versatile plant-based protein takes center stage, marinated in a luscious blend of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar, infusing it with a savory-sweet glaze. Pan-fried to perfection, the tempeh boasts a crispy exterior and a tender, succulent interior that soaks up the irresistible teriyaki sauce. Accompanying this main attraction are two equally enticing recipes: a refreshing Asian slaw, brimming with vibrant vegetables tossed in a tangy dressing, and a fluffy coconut rice, cooked to perfection and infused with aromatic jasmine essence. These accompaniments provide a harmonious balance, adding freshness, texture, and a subtle sweetness to complement the savory tempeh.

Categories     Sauce     Bake     Low Sodium

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

Canola oil spray or 2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 cup sushi rice
One 8-ounce package tempeh, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon crushed peanuts (or peanut oil)
1/4 head red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
2 carrots, sliced diagonally into thin ovals
5 to 10 mushrooms, thinly sliced
One 4-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with canola oil or wipe with peanut oil.
  • Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, and stir to make an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the tempeh with the 5-spice powder and arrange on top of the rice.
  • In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and peanuts to make a teriyaki sauce. Spoon half the mixture over the tempeh.
  • Add the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and water chestnuts in layers. Pour the rest of the sauce over all.
  • Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.

Categories     Buffet, Canapes

Time 25m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g pack tempeh
1 tbsp olive oil
150ml teriyaki sauce
40g white sesame seeds , toasted
30g peanut butter
100ml coconut milk
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp soy sauce , or tamari
1 lime , ½ juiced, ½ cut into wedges to serve
pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • First, make the dipping sauce. Mix all the ingredients except for the lime wedges, adding a splash of water to loosen if it is too thick. Season and set aside. Can be made up to a day in advance and kept in the fridge.
  • Cut the tempeh into 16 slices. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the slices of tempeh for around 3 mins each side. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan, and turn the slices to coat them. Let it bubble away for 1-2 mins - you're looking for the tempeh to be well covered and sticky.
  • Tip the sesame seeds into a cup. Take the sticky slices of tempeh and push a wooden skewer into each (don't push them down too far). Dip one end of the tempeh into the sesame seeds, then transfer to a serving platter with the dipping sauce in a bowl and the lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tempeh: Look for tempeh that is firm and has a slightly nutty flavor. Avoid tempeh that is too soft or has a sour smell.
  • Press the tempeh: Pressing the tempeh helps to remove excess moisture and makes it easier to absorb the marinade.
  • Marinate the tempeh: Marinating the tempeh in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar helps to add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Cook the tempeh: Tempeh can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, baking, frying, and steaming. Be sure to cook the tempeh until it is heated through and slightly browned.
  • Serve the tempeh: Teriyaki tempeh can be served as a main course or as an appetizer. It can also be used as a topping for salads, rice bowls, or noodles.
