A flavorful and versatile tempeh-based dish perfect for various meals.
Crumble the tempeh into small pieces and place it in a sauté pan.
Crumbling the tempeh evenly ensures consistent cooking and flavor absorption.
Add enough water to the pan to almost cover the tempeh and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Boiling the tempeh helps to soften it and remove any bitterness.
Reduce the heat and simmer until most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Drain any remaining water and add the olive oil, garlic, and spices to the pan.
Sautéing the spices in oil enhances their aroma and flavor.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Keep stirring to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
Add the tamari and soy sauce, stirring to coat the tempeh evenly.
Adding the sauces at the end helps to retain their rich flavor.
Serve the savory tempeh crumbles as a topping or side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
