These teriyaki marinated tempeh cubes are designed for convenience. You can pan-fry them in a skillet with a little oil 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 pre-applied marinade means they are already seasoned, simplifying meal preparation. Ensure they are heated through before serving. They absorb flavors well and can be a great addition to weeknight meals.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain tempeh, these cubes come pre-marinated in a teriyaki sauce, saving time on seasoning. The fermentation process gives tempeh a distinct texture and flavor compared to other soy products like tofu. The cubes are also a convenient pre-portioned format.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tempeh cubes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent drying out.
