Ingredients
- 3 oranges divided
- ¼ cup of sliced shallot (onion will work)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger
- 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 block of tempeh cut into cubes
- 4 Tablespoons of brown sugar (or your choice of sweetener), divided
- 1 carrot grated
- zest of 1 orange peel
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
Instructions
MARINADE
- Juice one orange and combine it with the shallot, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in a bowl and mix. Add the cubed tempeh and let marinate for 20 minutes.
- Preheat a pan over medium-high heat.
- After a thorough marinading, pour the tempeh and marinade into the pan and cook until seared on most sides.
Cup of Yum
GLAZE
- Juice the remaining 2 oranges and combine it with the remaining 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, carrot, orange zest, and the cornstarch into a pot and turn on medium-low heat. Cook until it simmers and begins to thicken.
- Skewer the tempeh onto sticks and cover in the glaze.
Notes
- Want to add veggies? Alternate the tempeh with roasted or steamed vegetables. Some of my favorites are squash, eggplant, red pepper, onion, and mushroom
- Take the time to marinate the tempeh. The longer the tempeh marinates the more flavor it will have.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- Cut the tempeh into even, similar-sized pieces. Not only does this make them easier to cook but it also makes them look better on the skewers.
