Sticky Gochujang Sesame Tempeh

Serves: 2

Time: 15 minutes 

This gochujang sauce is my new obsession! It’s very like the sticky sesame recipe I’ve previously posted, but with some heat thanks to the gochujang! It's perfectly tangy, hot, sweet, with delicious umami flavours, and it only requires a few ingredients and a few minutes to make. This is equally great with tofu if you prefer it!  

Ingredients: 

• 280g tempeh 

• 1.5 tablespoons of gochujang 

• ½ tablespoon of brown rice miso paste 

• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar 

• 1 teaspoon of tomato paste 

• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup 

• 1 teaspoon of garlic granules 

• 1.5 tablespoons black sesame seeds 

• Sprinkle of nori (optional) 

Cooking Steps: 

1. Pre-heat your oven to 200C and line a baking tray. 

2. Chop your tempeh in chunks and place in the oven for 8-10 mins, or until browned. 

3. Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients of your sauce. 

4. Heat a medium pan over a medium heat and add your sauce once hot. 

5. Once the sauce starts to bubble and thicken, add your baked tempeh and toss it through to make sure it’s all coated nicely. 

6. Spoon over any leftover sauce over the tempeh once you serve it up. Enjoy!
