Lightlife Organic Teriyaki Marinated Tempeh Cubes
What it is
These are pre-marinated cubes of organic tempeh, a fermented soybean product. The teriyaki marinade provides a savory and slightly sweet flavor profile. The fermentation process gives tempeh a unique character and makes it easily digestible. These cubes are ready to be cooked and added to various dishes, offering a convenient way to enjoy a meatless meal.
How people cook with it
They absorb marinades well and can be prepared in many ways.
- Stir-fries
- Salads
- Sandwiches
- Bowls
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 simmering sauces or stews. For an extra layer of flavor, you might consider adding them to a stir-fry with your favorite vegetables and a splash of soy sauce or other seasonings. Their firm texture holds up well during cooking, ensuring they don't fall apart. They are designed for quick preparation, making them ideal for busy cooks.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike tofu, tempeh is made from whole soybeans and has a denser, chewier texture. The fermentation process also gives it a more pronounced, earthy flavor. The pre-marinated teriyaki flavor offers a convenient shortcut compared to marinating plain tempeh yourself.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate the unopened package until ready to use. Once opened, store any unused tempeh cubes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within a few days to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure the package is properly sealed to prevent drying out.
