Ingredients
Method
Steam tempeh pieces in or over simmering water for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to a small plate.
Poke small holes in tempeh with a fork on both sides and set aside.
Mix tamari, mirin, garlic powder and onion powder in a wide, shallow dish to make a marinade.
Add tempeh, turning to coat, cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.
Grill tempeh until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Alternately, heat a small amount of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook tempeh for 3 to 4 minutes on both sides, until browned.
Serve tempeh on buns with your choice of toppings.
