Tofurky Treehouse Tempeh Sesame Garlic Marinated Strips
What it is
These are pre-marinated strips of tempeh, a fermented soybean product. The tempeh is cut into convenient strips and coated in a savory sesame garlic marinade. The fermentation process gives tempeh a firm texture and a slightly nutty flavor, which is enhanced by the marinade. It is a convenient way to incorporate tempeh into meals without the need for separate marinating.
How people cook with it
These marinated tempeh strips are versatile for quick and flavorful meals.
- Stir-fries
- Salad toppings
- Sandwich fillings
- Bowl additions
To prepare, simply heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tempeh strips in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the strips are browned and heated through. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed and slightly crisped. These strips are designed to be cooked directly from the package, making meal preparation straightforward and efficient.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain tempeh, these strips come pre-marinated, saving time on preparation. The sesame garlic flavor is already infused, providing a distinct taste profile that differs from unmarinated tempeh or other marinades. The strip form also offers a different texture and presentation compared to blocks or cubes.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate the unopened package until ready to use. Once opened, store any unused tempeh strips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure the container is sealed to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
