BASIC OVEN-BAKED MARINATED TEMPEH
Although the marinade sounds similar to several of those given for tofu, it's just different enough that, when used on the completely different tempeh, you have a wholly distinct, and wholly delicious, dish. This is a base preparation. Use the baked tempeh as part of a component plate, sauced or unsauced, cut up as the filling for spring rolls with tempeh, added to a vegetable stir-fry, or as the centerpiece of a hearty sandwich.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the tamari, vinegar, and Pickapeppa in a nonreactive dish and stir to combine. If using additional seasoning (see below), add it here. Add the tempeh. Marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, for 20 minutes to 1 hour or refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- 2. Fifteen minutes before you are ready to cook the tempeh, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- 3. Place the marinated tempeh pieces on a nonstick baking sheet or one that has been sprayed with cooking spray, allowing plenty of air space between chunks. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then flip the pieces over and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and use as desired.
- Seasoning Tempeh
- The above is a basic recipe, designed to be compatible with almost any finished recipe. But the marinade can certainly be zapped up to good effect.
- Try any one to three of the following additions:
- • 1 to 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- • 1 to 2 teaspoons peeled grated ginger
- • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
- • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- • 1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce
- • 1 tablespoon ketchup or tomato paste

BAKED TEMPEH
Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food. It is a fermented food made by the controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans with a Rhizopus mold. The tempeh fermentation by the Rhizopus mold binds the soybeans into a compact white cake. People can cook tempeh in a variety of ways, but most Indonesians bake it with a little oil and salt like in this recipe. Tempeh is a great source of protein.

Tips:
- Choose the right tempeh: Look for tempeh that is firm and has a slightly nutty flavor. Avoid tempeh that is too soft or crumbly.
- Press the tempeh: Pressing the tempeh before cooking helps to remove excess moisture and results in a firmer texture. To press the tempeh, place it between two plates and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet.
- Marinate or season the tempeh: Marinating or seasoning the tempeh before cooking adds flavor and helps to prevent it from drying out. You can use a variety of marinades or seasonings, such as soy sauce, tamari, miso paste, olive oil, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the tempeh thoroughly: Tempeh should be cooked until it is heated through and slightly browned. The internal temperature of the tempeh should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Tempeh is a versatile and delicious plant-based protein that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and iron. Tempeh is also a good source of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help to improve gut health. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful meat alternative, tempeh is a great option.
