Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and chopped green onions. Stir well to combine.

  2. Add the cubed tempeh to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow the tempeh to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh to the skillet, reserving any leftover marinade.

  4. Cook the tempeh for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and slightly crispy on the outside.

  5. Pour the remaining marinade over the tempeh in the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  6. Once the tempeh is well coated in the sauce and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.

  7. Serve the Korean Spicy Tempeh over steamed rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an added pop of flavor and color.
