Ingredients:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave
½ tablespoon liquid smoke
1 (8-ounce) package tempeh (any variety)
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, maple syrup (or agave), and liquid smoke. Set aside.
2. Cut the tempeh block in half lengthwise and then slice it as thinly as possible.
3. In a large pan over high heat, heat the oil. Add the tempeh in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
4. While the tempeh is still in the pan, add the liquid mixture and sauté the tempeh for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
5. The Tempeh Bacon is best if served immediately.
TONI’S TIPS:
>>I like to cook the tempeh for a couple of minutes longer to get it crispy and even a bit charred. It tastes more similar to bacon that way.
