Ingredients

  • 1 block (8 oz) tempeh, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the Tempeh: Add the marinated tempeh to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
