Directions
Marinate the tempeh: In a small bowl, add all of the marinade ingredients. Place tempeh in a shallow dish so the pieces are spread apart. Pour the marinade over top and marinate for 30 minutes or overnight.
After the tempeh is marinaded, heat a large stovetop pan over medium heat. Add the tempeh and grill on each side until golden brown, about 3–5 minutes per side. If needed, you may need to lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. Make sure to clean up extra droplets of oil with a towel.
Meanwhile, make the teriyaki sauce: In a small bowl add all of the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over top of the tempeh and cook for an additional 60 seconds until the sauce thickens.
Turn off heat and transfer the tempeh to a serving platter.
Serve and top with sesame seed and green onions.
Chef's Notes
Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.
Why and how to boil or steam tempeh
Tempeh should always be cooked and not be eaten raw. Boiling or steaming isn’t necessary before grilling or baking but does give a better result. If you have time, boil or steam it for 10–15 minutes, which opens the pores and allows the marinade to better infuse. If you’re low on time, though, you can simply grill or bake it straight out of the package.
Prep Ahead
Make the teriyaki sauce ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Storage
Store leftover tempeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
