What is tempeh?
Tempeh is a soy product made from fermented soybeans originating in Indonesia. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form. It is especially popular on the island of Java, where it is a staple source of protein. Like tofu, tempeh is made from soybeans, but it is a whole soybean product with different nutritional characteristics and textural qualities. Tempeh’s fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean gives it a higher content of protein, dietary fibre, and vitamins. It has a firm texture and an earthy flavour, which becomes more pronounced as it ages. Extracted from wikipedia.
You can enjoy this Vegan & Gluten-Free Tempeh Bacon for breakfast, brunch, lunch or any meal, in a sandwich or on salad, you decide! It’s simply perfectly delicious!

Ingredients
- 400 g tempeh, sliced
- 1/4 cup tamari, or Japanese soy sauce
- 2 tbsp pure date syrup
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp beetroot powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch black pepper, freshly ground
- extra-virgin olive oil, to pan-fry the tofu
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the tamari, pure date syrup, red wine vinegar, liquid smoke, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, beetroot powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper, until a smooth soft paste has formed.
- Slice the tempeh into 1/4 inch / 1/2 cm slices.
- Pour a few tablespoons of the marinade into a large shallow container. Place the tempeh slices on top, and keep pouring tablespoons of the marinade, until all the tempeh is covered with marinade on both sides. Spread the marinade with a basting brush, to cover all the pieces completely.
- Cover and let the tempeh soak in the marinade for 1 hour.
- Set a large non-stick skillet over high heat, and heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. When the oil’s hot, add tempeh slices until you cover the skillet and fry for 1- 2 minutes on each side, until both sides are golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately on your favourite dishes!
- We served it inside our Fluffy Homemade Vegan Bagels along with our Scramble to Die For from our new cookbook & e-book ALL PLANTS: The Food You Love, The Vegan Way. The perfect combo!
