Cooking Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, brown sugar, and ground black pepper. This forms the delicious soy glaze for your tempeh.
3. Slice the tempeh into thin strips for optimum flavor absorption.
4. Immerse each tempeh strip into the soy glaze, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
5. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay out the glazed tempeh strips.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
7. Allow the tempeh to bake for 20 minutes, turning once at the halfway mark to ensure even cooking.
8. Once baked, your Spicy Baked Tempeh with Soy Glaze should have a crisp exterior and a tender, flavorful interior.

Tips

1. If you prefer a zestier flavor, you can increase the sriracha quantity. But remember, a little goes a long way!
2. For an earthier flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of sesame oil to the glaze.
3. If the soy glaze thickens too much during preparation, a dash of water will help thin it out to your desired consistency.
4. Keep a close eye during baking; tempeh can go from perfectly cooked to overcooked quickly!

Serving Suggestions

• Plating: Serve the Spicy Baked Tempeh with Soy Glaze on a plate, drizzling any remaining soy glaze over the top. A sprinkle of chopped green onions can add a fresh, vibrant touch.
• Pairings: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa to balance out the flavors.
• Salads: A light cucumber or coleslaw salad can complement the rich flavors of the tempeh.
