Tempeh can be conveniently cooked with a number of dishes, because it easily mixes and picks up the flavor of other foods and sauces. Tempeh has been the traditional cuisine of Indonesia for more than 2000 years. and is a tremendously nutritious food rich in protein, a great meat alternative in vegetarian cuisine! Tempeh is extremely rich in protein, fiber and vitamins.

I prefer tempeh over tofu when I am making food at home! It has a thicker texture and more usability in all different dishes. This recipe comes from the Beachbody Ultimate Reset once again!! The simplest recipe is to just marinate it in Bragg's Aminos and voila, a delish Asian tempeh recipe.

 

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (Bragg's is best!)
2 Tbsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos (great soy sauce alternative)
1 1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp. 100% pure organic maple syrup
1/2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 block tempeh, cut into 1/2 inch strips

Preparation:

When baking or sautéing tempeh, the sauce is really important or else the tempeh will be flavorless. Make sure that you allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, but the longer the better! Mix first five ingredients well. Carefully arrange tempeh strips in single layer in glass baking dish and pour marinade over tempeh. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350° F and bake 30 minutes. Turn pieces of tempeh over and bake 15 more minutes. Serves 1.
