- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee
Instructions
- Slice tempeh into ¼ – ½ inch slices horizontally.

- Add tempeh to the marinade, turn to coat each piece.
- Let sit at least 5 minutes or up to 1 hour, turning occasionally. Most of the liquid will be absorbed.

Notes
Steaming tempeh allows it to accept more flavors of the marinade. It also makes the tempeh more tender.
