Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce *tamari or liquid aminos work too
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 parts cold water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Pour over sliced tempeh and allow to marinate for at least 20-30 minutes.
- Remove tempeh from marinade and cook the tempeh in your preferred cooking method (see above article for cooking options).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the leftover marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry and add to the marinade. Stir in and bring to a boil.
- Boil for a minute, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens, stirring constantly.
- Add your cooked tempeh into the marinade and stir to coat. The thickened marinade will stick to the cooked tempeh and create a super flavorful sticky coating. Yum!
