TEMPEH / TOFU MARINADE
If you think you're not a fan of tofu or tempeh, chances are you haven't flavoured it all that well. This is a super quick, super delicious marinade you can use for baking or pan-frying.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
​​
-
250g tempeh or 450g firm tofu
-
2-3 tbsp tamari sauce
-
1 tbsp maple syrup
-
1 tbsp hot sauce
-
2 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp garlic granules
-
1 tsp sesame seeds
LET'S GET COOKING
​​
-
Cut the tempeh/tofu into thick slices or cubes, or cut diagonal lines into the tofu slab halfway down. Place into a medium glass container.
-
Add all the marinade ingredients in and ensure all sides of the tempeh/tofu pieces are coated. Place a lid over the ingredients and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
-
Line a baking sheet and lay out the tempeh/tofu pieces. Pour the remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 20 minutes.
-
Optional: If you don't feel like using the oven, the tofu/tempeh can easily be pan fried; Using a good quality non-stick pan, on medium heat, add tofu/tempeh pieces and half remaining marinade. Flip after 4-5 minutes, add remaining liquid and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
