Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 70kcal
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz package tempeh found in many grocery stores
- 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- spinach or kale leaves
- low-fat eggless mayo recipe link below
- mustard (optional)
- 4 English muffins or bagels
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, and maple syrup and mix well.
- Slice tempeh into strips. Place slices into mixture and allow to marinate. The longer, the stronger the flavor will be. I like to leave it in the refrigerator overnight if possible, but at least 30 minutes is necessary.
- Add tempeh strips to a frying pan with a little bit of the marinade liquid and cook over medium-high heat until crispy on one side. Turn and brown on the other side. Add more of the marinade and cook until caramelized. About 5 minutes each side is a reasonable estimate. If baking in the oven, cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
- Toast your English muffins (or don't). Add a little Eggless Low-Fat Mayo, mustard, and kale (or spinach).
- Add tempeh bacon and serve.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions
- I used to steam my tempeh before preparing it for a recipe, but have found that it isn’t necessary. It does not taste bitter to me at all, so no steaming is required.
- Simply place in a non-stick pan and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Tempeh Bacon is also great on English Breakfast Muffins and Smoked Tempeh Sandwiches.
- It also pairs well with my Tofu Breakfast Scramble.
