Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking tray with baking or parchment paper.
  2. Cut the tempeh into bite-sized cubes.
  3. Place the tempeh cubes in a steamer basket or on a steamer rack and set over a pot with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer and let the tempeh steam for 15 minutes until half-cooked.
  4. Mix the tamari, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Season with the pepper. 
  5. Place the steamed tempeh in a baking dish, pour over the marinade, and mix until well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  6. Place the marinated tempeh on the prepared baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and brush the remaining marinade onto the cubes.
  8. Place the tempeh back in the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cubes are charred around the edges.
  9. Remove the baked tempeh from the oven and transfer to plates. Garnish with spring onions.
