1/2 lb Lightlife Foods Original Tempeh (1 pack)
Neutral oil, for cooking

Sauce/Marinade
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2-4 tbsp maple syrup adjust according to desired sweetness, (see notes)

2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp sriracha or other chili sauce, adjust according to desired heat

STEPS
Slice the tempeh into half and into smaller pieces, if desired.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add some oil to coat the pan. Once hot, add the slabs or pieces of tempeh.
Cook the tempeh over medium high heat until golden brown, around 3-4 minutes on each side.
Prepare the sauce or marinade by mixing everything in a bowl. Feel free to adjust the sauce to your taste.
Pour the marinade or sauce over the tempeh and flip the tempeh to evenly coat in the sauce.
Allow the sauce to come to a boil over medium heat. It’ll thicken and turn into a glaze from the sugars.
Flip the tempeh to continue to cook in the sauce and coat in the glaze.
Once the tempeh has soaked the sauce. you can deglaze the pan with some water.
Turn off the heat and then transfer the tempeh into plates. You can slice these into strips if you opted to cook them in square slabs.
Serve with rice or noodles. You can also enjoy the tempeh in wraps or salads.
Pour the remaining sauce/marinade over the tempeh.
Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
