Steps:
- First, make the dipping sauce. Mix all the ingredients except for the lime wedges, adding a splash of water to loosen if it is too thick. Season and set aside. Can be made up to a day in advance and kept in the fridge.
- Cut the tempeh into 16 slices. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the slices of tempeh for around 3 mins each side. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan, and turn the slices to coat them. Let it bubble away for 1-2 mins - you're looking for the tempeh to be well covered and sticky.
- Tip the sesame seeds into a cup. Take the sticky slices of tempeh and push a wooden skewer into each (don't push them down too far). Dip one end of the tempeh into the sesame seeds, then transfer to a serving platter with the dipping sauce in a bowl and the lime wedges on the side.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality tempeh: Look for tempeh that is firm and has a light brown or beige color. Avoid tempeh that is too soft or has a slimy texture.
- Press the tempeh before cooking: This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tempeh more flavorful. 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 the tempeh: Marinating the tempeh will help to infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple soy sauce and ginger marinade or a more complex marinade made with a variety of spices and herbs.
- Cook the tempeh over medium heat: Cooking the tempeh over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning. Cook the tempeh for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the tempeh with your favorite sauce: Teriyaki sauce is a classic choice, but you can also serve the tempeh with a variety of other sauces, such as a peanut sauce or a sweet and sour sauce.
Conclusion:
Tempeh is a delicious and versatile plant-based protein that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and iron, and it is also low in fat and calories. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful alternative to meat, tempeh is a great option.
