Marinated tempeh

Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp hot sauce or sriracha
  • sesame seeds, to serve (optional)

    Whisk together the vegetable oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar and hot sauce. Cut the tempeh into bite-size pieces (about 2cm) and pat dry with kitchen paper. Tip into a bowl, then drizzle over most of the marinade and toss well to coat. Marinate for 30 mins-1 hr in the fridge.

  • STEP 2

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Transfer the tempeh to a lined baking tray. Bake for 25-30 mins, tossing and brushing with the remaining marinade halfway through. Serve sprinkled with the sesame seeds.
