Teriyaki Tempeh

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics mirin's sweetness and acidity.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more affordable option with a neutral flavor.

tempeh

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: seitan

Tofu is lower in calories, while seitan is often cheaper.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: coconut aminos

Coconut aminos is a soy-free alternative.

Mix sake, soy sauce, and sugar in equal parts of 1:1:1 ratio in saucepan.

Cook it on medium heat for 20-30 minutes, keep stirring throughout to let it reduce and thicken. Once it achieves a viscous consistency, set it aside for use.

Pan fry the tempeh until golden brown, use a generous amount of oil to fry it to get this yummy looking finish. Flip over the tempeh when one side is done.

Drizzle teriyaki sauce over tempeh, chop up seaweed to garnish, a little side of Kewpie mayo to make it extra drool worthy. Serve with a bowl of rice.
