Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Set aside half of this mixture for later use.
-
Add the tempeh cubes to the remaining marinade in the bowl. Allow them to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, ensuring they are well coated.
-
After marinating, remove the tempeh from the bowl and lightly dust with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh cubes in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the tempeh is crispy, pour in the reserved marinade that was set aside earlier. Stir well to coat the tempeh evenly and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the crispy orange tempeh.
-
Serve the Crispy Orange Tempeh over cooked rice or quinoa.
