Description

This might be the best tempeh recipe I’ve  published to date. It features a simple ginger and garlic-spiked orange glaze that plays off the nutty, earthiness of pan-fried tempeh beautifully. Unlike many other tempeh recipes, there is no need for a long marinade time with this one, making it great for a last-minute weeknight meal. 

Ingredients

3 tbsp vegetable oil
240 g of tempeh, diced
1 tbsp chopped ginger
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 green onions, chopped
1 cup of vegetable broth 250 ml
1/4 cup orange marmalade 60 ml
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp Sriracha sauce
Salt to taste

Directions

1
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the tempeh in oil for 5 minutes.
2
Add ginger, garlic and green onion. Cook for 2 minutes.
3
Stir in vegetable broth, orange marmalade, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce.
4
Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed.
5
Add salt to taste.
6
Serve over basmati rice.

    Yes, I’ll be using firm tofu as well, and a shake of chilli powder, or possibly a shake of Tabasco, if there’s any left in the bottle, for the sriracha, as I don’t have the latter! But I love marmalade, and like tofu, so still sounds good to me! Thanks B C.

    Tried this last night and it was amazing. Never been a huge fan of tempeh but this one is going in the rotation for sure. Even the 4 year old ate some. Also just wanted to tell you how much I love and appreciate what you are doing with your site. I’ve been following a long for awhile now and I’m always impressed with not only how great your dishes taste, but also how simple they are to make. Watching you put together recipes has made me a better and more confident cook. Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Oh My ! After making this orange tempeh a few times, I realized I should double the recipe because it tastes great the next day for my lunch at work or in a wrap. The best tempeh recipe I have ever tried … and I have tried many ! Thank you .. comes together quickly.

    Cooked this and I enjoyed it, I wasn’t sure if I had to steam the tempeh but it’s not required. Next time I’ll have a bit of broccoli on the side. It’s nice to see more recipes with tempeh.
