Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempeh

    Slice the Smiling Hara Tempeh into thin strips (about 1/2 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Fry the Tempeh

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced tempeh and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Korean BBQ Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Tempeh with Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour the Korean BBQ sauce over the fried tempeh and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat the tempeh evenly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
