Scale
- 1 (8oz) pack tempeh, sliced into small triangles
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, sliced green onions
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, miso paste, and rice vinegar. Cook over medium heat, whisking often, until the mixture is thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. It should reduce to about 1/2 cup.
- In a shallow bowl, add the tempeh and brush with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Adjust oven rack to 6-inches from broiler and preheat to broil.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with oil. Place the marinated tempeh on the baking sheet and brush 2 tablespoons of glaze.
- Broil for 4–6 minutes until the glaze is set and the tempeh is lightly golden.
- Flip the tempeh and brush with remaining glaze and return to the broiler for another 2–4 minutes, until caramelized and browned.
- Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or green onions, if using.
