Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Tempeh (organic, unsalted)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Spring onions (sliced for garnish)
- 1 cup Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the tempeh into thin slices or bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, garlic, and grated ginger to make a marinade. Add chili flakes if you prefer a bit of heat.
Add the tempeh slices into the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. To minimize oil usage, lightly spray the pan with cooking oil or use a silicone brush to apply a thin coat.
Place the marinated tempeh in the skillet, allowing each piece to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on one side. Then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Once the tempeh is evenly cooked and crisp, remove from the pan and let it rest on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the tempeh hot, garnished with freshly sliced spring onions. For a complete meal, pair it with cooked brown rice or quinoa for added fiber and nutrients.
Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Tempe Goreng as a tasty plant-based dish packed with protein and flavor!
