Place the tempeh (in a single layer, or double layer, if possible) and gently tilt the dish until all the tempeh has been covered with the marinade.

Marinade for at least 15 minutes or overnight.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and spread the tempeh in a single layer.

Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat and let it brown before flipping to the other side.

Cook on the other side for another 3-5 minutes until brown on both sides.
