Tempeh Glazed with Sesame

Tempeh Glazed with Sesame
For: 2 serv.Difficulty: EasyPreparation: 20 minCooking: 15 min

You know that I only use ingredients that are accessible everywhere for my recipes in principle, to make vegan cooking truly accessible to everyone. So now you're going to tell me that you don't necessarily know tempeh or that it's not available near you... and it's true that it's not yet very common everywhere as a food item!

But we are starting to see more and more of it in cities, in organic shops, on restaurant menus, etc... so I wanted to give you an idea of how to cook it.

So there you have it, this recipe is a bit of advice on how to discover tempeh, it's one way among others to prepare it :)

Of course, if you want to try this sauce without tempeh, it works great with firm tofu as well! But I really love the unique texture of tempeh and I wanted to introduce you to it if you haven't already ;)

Starting by boiling it allows you to remove any bitterness that some tempeh may have. On the other hand, if you choose a pre-marinated or ready-to-eat tempeh, you can omit this step!

  • Cut the tempeh into small cubes.
  • Heat a pot of water. When it starts to boil, submerge the tempeh and cook it for 10 minutes. Drain.
  • In a frying pan, heat a spoonful of sesame oil and sauté the tempeh cubes until they are browned on all sides.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: mix the soy sauce, ketchup, the remaining sesame oil, maple syrup, sesame seeds, cornstarch, and 200 mL of water.
  • Once the tempeh is nicely browned, pour in the sauce. Let it cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken and coat the tempeh pieces.
  • Serve on rice!

NotesUse tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option !
