INGREDIENTS:

• 2-8 oz blocks of tempeh, chopped into bite size pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 tbsp vegetable broth
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce or marinade

METHOD:

• Add 1 tbsp of oil to a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped, bite-sized tempeh cubes to the pan & cook until golden on each side. Should take about 7 minutes or so. Remove the tempeh cubes from the heat & set aside.

• Next, add the marinade (maple syrup, vegetable broth, soy sauce & teriyaki sauce) to the pan with the garlic. Cook it for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
• Then add the cooked tempeh cubes to the sauce, cooking and stirring until well-coated, about 2-3 more minutes.
