Keto Best Marinated Tempeh
If you’re new to Keto or incorporating Vegan recipes into your diet, please enjoy this easy Keto tempeh recipe. The steps will walk you through the simple way to prepare soybean tempeh. You’ll also be walked through an equally easy Keto tempeh marinade made with soy sauce. A touch of Worcestershire sauce and some garlic are added to the marinade, but feel free to add more spices or herbs that you’d enjoy. Some sweetness is added with Keto-friendly brown sugar made with erythritol. Tempeh is a great product for marinating, so it will absorb the flavors well. Cook the tempeh after you marinate it in some healthy avocado oil, and the recipe is done!
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare tempeh by removing it from its packaging and patting away any excess water with a paper towel. You can slice the tempeh into julienne or rectangular pieces, triangle pieces, or cubes. Add all your pieces to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Create the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar erythritol, and minced garlic in a separate bowl or dish. Then, pour the marinade over your mixing bowl of tempeh. Toss the tempeh until all the pieces are coated in marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and marinate the tempeh in your refrigerator for a minimum of one hour. However, tempeh is dense and can marinate for many hours or overnight. Use a spoon to toss the tempeh in your marinade every half hour or hour, depending on how long you’re marinating.
Step 4
When you’re ready to cook the Keto marinated tempeh, start heating all the avocado oil on high heat in a frying pan on the stove. Add the tempeh pieces and any excess marinade to the pan of oil, and let the tempeh fry on one side until they have crispy-golden edges. Use a pair of tongs or a fork to flip the frying tempeh over to finish cooking on its other side.
Step 5
After cooking on both sides, the tempeh should be caramelized and darkened all over from the marinade. Serve the marinated tempeh as is while hot. You can also choose a Keto dipping sauce to pair with the tempeh.
