Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Tempeh
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground coriander, sea salt, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the marinade and water to a shallow dish or zip-top bag, then add the sliced tempeh. Toss to coat the tempeh evenly in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour for stronger flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, remove the tempeh from the marinade (shaking off excess liquid) and place it into the skillet in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the tempeh slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked tempeh to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a larger meal with vegetables or a salad.
