Marinated Mustard Tempeh

Andreea Fegan, www.LittleBitesOfJoy.com
A delicious, savory and protein-rich dish, celebrating the versatility of Tempeh!

Equipment

  • Steamer and pot
  • Baking pan or sheet (if using sheet, use parchment paper)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Standard packages organic tempeh blocks
  • 2 tbsp Tamari, soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 3 tbsp Brown mustard
  • 1/4 cup Raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (or more to taste)* See note below
  • Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare to make the tempeh: prepare a steamer with enough water to steam for about 12 minutes.
  • Open two packages of tempeh and slice, then cube (3/4 inch cubes or so).
  • Place the cubes in a steamer and steam for about 12 minutes. While these are steaming, make the marinade.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. When the tempeh is done, add it to the bowl and toss to coat. The open pores of the tempeh will take in the marinade as it bakes.
  • Pour the marinated tempeh on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pan (often I make the marinade right in the pan I will bake it in). If on a baking sheet, line them up in a single layer and they will cook up more crispy. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until they brown at the tops.

Notes

The amount of salt you add depends on the type of soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos you use.
