Ingredients
- 8 ounces Tempeh
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Slice the tempeh into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground coriander, sea salt, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the marinade and water to a shallow dish or zip-top bag, then add the sliced tempeh. Toss to coat the tempeh evenly in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour for stronger flavor.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, remove the tempeh from the marinade (shaking off excess liquid) and place it into the skillet in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Fry the tempeh slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked tempeh to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a larger meal with vegetables or a salad.
