Pan Fried Tempeh with Ginger Soy Sauce
Report
This Pan Fried Tempeh with Ginger Soy Sauce is packed with both nutrition and flavor. It's salty, sweet, and has the slightest heat from the fresh ginger. Serve over rice and steamed veggies for a quick, 25-minute, easy plant-based meal.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- ¼ cup of finely diced yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of minced ginger
- 1 (8-ounce) package of tempeh
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon of lime juice (about half of a lime)
- 1 teaspoon of a liquid sweetener (agave or maple syrup)
- cooked brown rice (optional)
- Your favorite steamed veggies (optional)
- minced cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Lime Wedges for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onions, garlic, ginger, and saute for 1 minute. Using your fingers, crumble the tempeh directly into the pan, and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring regularly until the tempeh is lightly browned.
- Pour in the tamari sauce, lime juice, and your choice of a liquid sweetener, and stir until absorbed.
- Serve over cooked brown rice with your favorite steamed veggies, and with minced cilantro and lime wedges as garnish (if using).

Notes
- Make extra marinade. If you prefer your pan-fried tempeh on the saucier side, double or triple the soy sauce, lime juice, and liquid sweetener. This will make the pan-fried tempeh even more flavorful and allow for additional ginger soy sauce for drizzling.
- Whisk the ginger soy sauce together on the side. The first time you make this tempeh recipe, I recommend combining the ginger soy sauce ingredients together in a small bowl first. Taste, and adjust the flavors to suit your taste buds. Then, once you know how much of each ingredient you like, you can add the ingredients directly into the pan!
- Use a nonstick skillet. Tempeh is prone to sticking to the bottom of the pan, especially if they aren't well-seasoned or nonstick. To prevent this, use your favorite nonstick pan, heat it until warm before adding oil and remaining ingredients, and stir frequently.
