Ingredients

  • 8 oz tempeh
  • 1 cup edamame (shelled)
  • 2 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 8 oz tempeh into 1/2-inch thick slices. Steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5 minutes to remove bitterness and help them absorb the glaze.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp miso paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Pour the miso glaze over the tempeh and add the 1 cup edamame. Stir to coat and cook until the glaze thickens and clings to the tempeh, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve hot.
