The best comment yet Sweet Epiphany.
Sweet Epiphany and it tastes even better and is so much healthier than flesh from a living being.
Ugh

@@michaelbalfour3170 theyre pretty good when braised
Steaming the tempeh also tenderizes it and it makes it more porous and permeable to marinades. Thank you for this video!
Yes! I love how the texture changes. So good... :) Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Thanks for not trying to be quirky and annoying and just getting to the point.
Haha! Thanks Rusty!
Yes!
steaming is the secret! great tip. if it doesnt get steamed, it’s really bitter.
I just made this and it is by far the best tempeh recipe I’ve tried, thank you!
Yay!! Thanks Rebecca! I'm so glad you liked it!

Looks good.. started making tempeh and I'm going to try this first. Thanks

Thanks for this.....I was looking for tempeh bacon recipe which included steaming. For many years I wondered why tempeh was so much better @restaurants. Not often mentioned, but so important. This looks so good, going to get slicing and steaming! Cheers!
Yay! Thank you so much! Yup... Steaming it is key :) Hope it turns out great!
I try this recipe today and omg it's so delicious. Probably the best tempeh I've ever had. Thank you for posting it here 👍

Thanks for watching Alisha! :)
i really like this recipe it's so easy
Thank you so much Patricia!! It's super easy and so delicious :)
A great looking recipe and your hosting is fabulous. You should have a show on mainstream media. You would be a great advocate for vegan recipe and cooking programmes. There are way too many meat recipe programmes as it is. It's about time we had a decent representation.
With my warmest regards, Richard from Taunton UK.
Garlic honey and soy sauce stir fry tempeh is to die for.

Fantastic! Vegie bacon, can't wait to try it!

Thank you!
You're very welcome!
you're seriously good at cooking 'o'
Thank you so much DDD033!!
I'm late to the tempeh bacon party, but this recipe is delicious!!
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but tempe is life! I'd definitely gonna try this, except from maybe I'll change the maple syrup with honey because maple syrup is extremely expensive in where I live.
Thanks for the recipe!
I hope you love it Yusaria! Feel free to use agave or molasses as well :) Any liquid sweetener should work
Try to see if you can order Maple syrup on Amazon, Walmart or Target. Depending on what state or country you live in it may be way cheaper than a store.
Honey is not considered vegan if you are a vegan for ethical reasons.
She’s so cute ! Thank you for a great video :)
Thank you for watching! You're so sweet!
So i made this and yumm so good! Thank you!
Anyone tips on how to keep them crispy?
Hi there! So sorry I had missed your comment!! The best tip is to cook and eat them right away, but you will regain some crispness by reheating these in the oven or better yet in an air-fryer. They won't be as crispy as when made fresh but you will regain some of that texture. Thanks for watching!
Looks delicious! I think I’ll try without frying in oil (which I know is what makes them crispy) and just bake it or try in air fryer.
Hi Dianna! So sorry I had missed your comment somehow! Feel free to adapt it to what suits you. although not the same, I think you might get a good result in the air fryer! Hope it turned out great!
Taste test! Just subbed nice video :)
Thanks so much Jesse! :)
This looks awesome. I will try it. I'm looking for more recipes with tempeh because I can no longer eat soy.
Thanks for posting this.
Hi Sandy! Most tempeh is made from soy. Have you tried finding garbanzo tempeh?
Brownble I am making some right now. I am reading that it's superior to store bought.
Yay!! :)
Sandy Wea
Yumazing!
Haha! Thank you Wayne! :)
The beautiful thing is no one had to die for this bacon ♥️
Yes yes yes! :)
thanks for the synopsys I will make it now......
I hope you love it!
@@brownble I put it on pizza. It was gud
I'm Indonesian, I'm watching this at 3 A.M, this makes me want to go to local market, buy tempe for 500 cents, and make tempe bacon!! 😋
Oh that makes me so happy! Thank you for watching and for commenting :)
this was a winner
Yay! So glad you liked it!
Love Tempeh Indonesian, Maybe you should try tempeh mendoan
Love tempeh too! I'll look into tempeh mendoan... sounds exciting and I've never had it. Can't wait to try it :)
Try tempeh curry. It's heaven.
well in indonesia, we call it "tempeh bacem" so basically we eat vegan bacon everday
I love it Denis! :) vegan bacon every day sounds pretty good to me. Ha ha! Thanks for watching!
I just made it!! It’s delicious! Yummm. But, Denis it’s totally different to tempe bacem we have in Indonesia. The taste, texture, the ingredients are different. This one is very simple. Anyway, i love both.
@@cielo8044 thank you
A Hillshire Farm ad before this video. Nioce.
You can eat it with green chilli and feel the sensation of sweet and spicy
O.o tempeh needs to be steamed?? Great video- maybe my next tempeh dish will actually be edible now lol
Hi Max! Yes! Definitely steam it before using it in any recipe. That's the secret! :)
wow! I'm happy to see foreigners enjoy eating tempe too! 😁 please don't mind with people who said it's culture appropriation. it's not at all. thank u for sharing your recipe!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Tempeh was a huge discovery for me and I absolutely love it!
Nice video. Where did you purchase your mugs hooks from. Thanks.
Thanks so much! The hooks and shelves are all from IKEA :)
Hi! I just finished cooking this and i love it. Thanks for sharing your recipe 💚
One thing i noticed though is that the tempeh absorbs a lot of oil. I don’t know maybe there’s something i missed or should do. Any advice please? Thank you 😊
Tempeh does absorb oil. It is its nature. Normally we deep-fried it.
A restaurant near me has the best tempeh bacon. It’s soft and pliable (ie. doesn’t crumble apart like tempeh often tends to do). Is this similar to that? I want it to be soft.
Steam it first that’s a good tip thank you.
Hi there! Yes, always steam before proceeding with any recipe. Thanks for watching and so sorry I had missed your comment! :)
Nice! What can the soy sauce be substitutes for? Ty.
Hi there! You can use tamari soy sauce to keep it gluten free if the issue you have with soy sauce is gluten, or you can also use coconut aminos. It won't be the same with the coconut aminos but it is always a great substitute if you can't consume soy and are using chickpea tempeh for example. Thanks so much for watching!
I buy the Tofurky slices and they cost £4.95!!
I think i will try this but bake them instead.
Had to comment... so SO delicious, very impressed by the video and the simple recipe- amazing with BLTs + veganaise🤤🤤 loved this recipe !!!!!!
Yay! I'm so so glad you tried this! Thank you so much for writing back to let us know... and thank you for watching
Ah yes, crispy tempe bacem. I'll try
Thank you for watching!
I wonder if you could steam, marinate the cook in an air fryer?
I'm sure you could Virginia! We're actually working on this recipe in the air fryer right now and we'll post a video update soon :)
i already subscribe to your channel 😊
That is so sweet of you Patricia! Thank you so much for your support! It means the world!
where u from? And what is liquid smoke?
Does anyone know a healthier substitute for soy? I would appreciate it.
hey do you have any suggestions to getting rid of this distinct almost bitter like natural taste tempeh has?
Hi Andrea! Yes! Absolutely. Tempeh should always be steamed for 12 minutes before using it in any recipe, or, alternatively, simmered in boiling water or vegetable broth (at a soft boil so it doesn't break apart). The flavor changes completely after doing this. Then you pat it dry and use it in whatever recipe you want to make. I hope it helps! :)
With baked beans, chickpea scrambled, roasted tomatoes and a slice of bread. A cup of tea on the side
Oh my goodness! Now I want exactly that... everything you said! So delicious.
Could you substitute the liquid smoke with maybe smoked paprika to get a similar effect?
Hi Lily! It wouldn't be exactly the same but it will give you a hint of smoky flavor. An even better alternative is any kind of smoked salt. It's like regular salt but black and wonderfully smoky. It's the closest to liquid smoke that I've found. But this recipe will be yummy even with just the soy sauce and maple. Hope you love it!
Can you also boil the tempeh or is steaming better?
Hi there! Yes, you can also cook it in water, but preferably not at a boil but at a lower simmer, that way there's less movement in the pot and it will hold its shape better. But both steaming and simmering will work in releasing the bitterness. Hope it turns out great!
Instead of steaming the tempeh, may microwaving it with some water might work??
Hi Ben, yes, it should work. So would simply simmering in a bit of water or vegetable broth.
Any tips on how to cook these without oil?
Hi Alexis! You can bake these in the oven under the broiler until golden without the use of oil. They won't get as crispy but you'll certainly get all the flavors! If you have an air fryer I'm sure that would be delicious too! :)
Wow great idea. However can you find away to do this without cooking the Tempeh 3 times. Is there away to prepare the bacon but Not to fry it twice.?. ??
Sure! Get a big pan that fits all your pieces and add the liquid marinade right after you've fried up the pieces. The only reason I did it twice was because they didn't all fit in the pan and I wanted to get all the pieces golden brown before the marinade :) If you're making a small batch or have a large pan, you're all set! Hope this helps!
If you don't want to fry it twice then marinate the tempeh in the fridge over night.
in Indonesia we called that tempe bacem
Yes! I didn't know that when making this recipe but several of our Indonesian followers have told me this is such a staple in your country! How delicious! :) Thanks for watching!
At what step would you be able to freeze it? And how?
You can freeze it after the steaming stage, or even after the tempeh bacon is done. Just know that after freezing, that crispness will be lost and the pieces will soften, so simply fry them up in a non-stick pan with a bit of oil to help them regain some of that texture. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've seen people make tempeh bacon marinating it overnight and then frying or baking it. This is how many more steps marinating and so on and I have badly nerve damage hands so your method would be easier for me. How long will this keep in the refrigerator?
Hi Elizabeth! Yes! This is far fewer steps! I'd say these last about 4-5 days in the fridge :)
I love bacon, but would love a healthier option, so I'll give this a try.
Yay! I hope you love it! Thanks for watching :)
Are you still on UA-cam? The best vegan chef!
Thank you! Yes of course! Just posted a new video today :) Thanks for the support!
@@brownble
So glad. Good chefs are hard to come by
Is there anything ı can use instead of liquid smoke and maple syrup ? Because ı dont have both of them in the place that ı live.
Hi Arzu, have you tried getting liquid smoke online? You might find it there. If you don't, you can simply omit the liquid smoke and substitute the maple syrup for agave or molasses. It won't be as smoky but it will still be delicious. Hope this helps!
Brownble thank you !
what about using an air fryer?
You could. It just wouldn't be as cripsy
Does this have any of that tempeh funky taste?
Hi Elizabeth! By steaming it first you remove all that funky taste :) Hope you love it!
Which sub i can used for soy sauce
Hi Jaafar, you can use tamari soy sauce if what you need is to keep the recipe gluten free. Some people like liquid aminos as a soy sauce substitute but I've personally never tried it. Thanks for watching!
Let’s gooo
What brand is your steamer pot?
Hi Carolyn! It's from IKEA :)
Brownble, thanks for your reply. I did end up getting a steamer, and I use it almost every day. Mine is a Cuisinart pot.
new friend here watching ur video and support
Hi Inday! Thank you so much for watching! I hope you love our channel!
@@brownble very much welcome. 👌
tempe bacem yuuuu
Thanks for watching Bramantya!
GAK ENAK
Although it looks good your pieces are too large and you overcrowded the pan to make it really crispy as you mentioned?
Hi there! Thanks for watching! Yes, you can cook them in separate batches for even more crispness.
I find liquid smoke to be really strong and overpowering. Is one teaspoon correct? Seems like a lot. Please, someone let me know. I really want to try something new.
Hi Lauretta, yes, the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon but feel free to use a bit less if you find it overpowering :)
@@brownble okay, thanks, you've convinced me! Not had a BLT in so long, I'll get the liquid smoke today! Also where do you buy that nice chunk of tempeh? All I seem to find are those long skinny packages.
this is "tempe bacem" Indonesian food
Thanks Fauzent! Lots of our Indonesian viewers have told me about tempe bacem. Love this dish so much, only of course this is the Westernised version of making tempeh into a tempeh bacon-y dish :) Can't wait to try the real thing if I ever go to Indonesia! Thanks for watching!
Yup tapi bacem lebih ke manis.. klo bacon lebih ke asin karna pake soy sauce, kecap asin
Mirip juga ya namanyab😄
@@brownble tempe bacem is sweet than your bacon tempeh that i presumably more into savoury bcuz you are using soy sauce (internationally, soy sauce is more salty than our local indonesian soy sauce that was more sweet). Usually, tempeh bacem is a nice way of introducing kids to tempeh because of it's sweetness.
eat it with sambel terasi 😁😂🤣
Tempeh is from Indonesia and we also do have the caramelization process only we cut it more thicker, we called it "tempeh bacem"
do many people in america (im guessing you are from there) consume tempe? Im from tempe originated land and my curiosity rise a question of how tempe introduced and accepted (i saw many vegan channel about making tempe) in other countries ? (because most of indonesians hate to migrate, unlike Chinese or Indians, we love our land so much that its not easy to leave)
Ibrahim! So glad to have someone from Indonesia watching! I've lived in the US (now live in Spain), but I'm originally from Venezuela. Tempeh has become incredibly popular in recent years as a meat alternative for vegans and vegetarians. I love tempeh! Its texture, how nutritious and delicious it is. Definitely something you can be super proud of and that as a vegan I can tell you I love to cook with! It's very popular in Spain too, especially in vegan and vegetarian restaurants. Thank you so much for watching!
It's not very popular yet.
Most Americans have never heard of it but it is sold in health food stores and places like whole foods just about everywhere. I prefer it to tofu.
Ibrahim Abdurrhman No. Most Americans have never heard of tempe.
There are many Indonesians in Houston Texas near my city and they do migrate there or they go to Houston university. I also make my own tempeh that’s why I’m here trying other ways to cook them. Local stores do sell tempeh but they are all pasteurized frozen and expensive.
