1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

-
4 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce if not gf)

1 teaspoon sesame or olive oil
-
2 tablespoon maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon sriracha (or hot sauce)

-
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional but tasty)

Instructions
- Cut tempeh into triangles or squares and steam in a steamer basket for 10 minutes (optional but makes the tempeh extra tasty).
- Add all ingredients for marinade into a bowl and whisk together.
- Place tempeh into dish and pour marinade over. Marinate for at least 20 mins.
- Place olive or coconut oil in a pan and sear the tempeh 3-5 minutes on each side until crispy.
- Mix teriyaki sauce ingredients in large bowl.
- Once tempeh is cooked, add tempeh to the teriyaki sauce, covering the tempeh.
- Take tempeh out of the sauce (leaving the extra sauce in the bowl) and add back to pan.
- Heat tempeh again for about 30 seconds on each side to caramelize the sauce on the tempeh.
- Turn off heat and pour the remaining sauce over the tempeh in the pan. Leave for about a minute for the rest of the sauce to thicken a bit.
- Serve with any vegetables you like (we chose broccoli), rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.
