Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   In a shallow dish or resealable bag, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and water for the marinade.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Whisk well to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.

2. 2

   Add the tempeh strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: If marinating longer, cover and refrigerate.

3. 3

   Remove the tempeh from the marinade, reserving the remaining marinade in the dish.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

4. 4

   Toss the marinated tempeh strips with the cornstarch until evenly coated.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: This step helps create a crispy crust and thicken the glaze.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

6. 6

   Once the oil is hot, add the tempeh strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

   Aşçının notu: Overcrowding will steam the tempeh instead of crisping it.

7. 7

   Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

   Yaklaşık 8 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Once all tempeh is cooked, return all crispy tempeh to the skillet.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

9. 9

   Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the tempeh.

10. 10

    Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the tempeh strips, about 2-3 minutes.

    Yaklaşık 3 dk.

    Aşçının notu: The cornstarch in the marinade will help it thicken quickly.

11. 11

    Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions if desired.
