Lightlife Organic Teriyaki Marinated Tempeh Cubes
What it is
These are pre-marinated cubes of tempeh, a fermented soybean product. The tempeh is firm and has a slightly nutty flavor. It is cut into convenient bite-sized pieces and coated in a savory teriyaki marinade, making it ready to cook.
How people cook with it
This marinated tempeh is a versatile ingredient for quick and flavorful dishes.
- Stir-fries
- Salad toppings
- Sandwich fillings
- Skewer additions
You can pan-fry these tempeh cubes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. They can also be baked in the oven or added directly to a simmering sauce or stir-fry. The teriyaki marinade provides a sweet and savory flavor that complements many vegetables and grains. Ensure the cubes are heated through before serving. They are designed for ease of use, requiring minimal preparation beyond cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain tempeh, these cubes come pre-marinated, saving time on seasoning. The teriyaki flavor is already infused, offering a distinct taste profile compared to unseasoned or differently seasoned tempeh. The pre-cut cubes also offer convenience over slicing a whole block.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate the unopened package until ready to use. Once opened, store any unused tempeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the remaining tempeh within a few days of opening to maintain its freshness and texture.
