Instructions

1.
Start by preparing the tempeh. Slice the block into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly, absorbing maximum flavor.
2.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and let it warm for about a minute to enhance its aromatic essence. Add the tempeh slices.
3.
Cook the tempeh on each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. The goal is to create a crispy exterior, so avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
4.
While the tempeh is browning, prepare your ginger-lime glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, grated ginger, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.
5.
Once the tempeh is golden and crispy, reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the ginger-lime glaze over the tempeh, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and adhere to the tempeh.
