Tempeh (sliced the long way about 1/8" thick (it will expand slightly when you steam)
1/4 c. soy sauce
splash maple syrup
splash liquid smoke
teeny bit of cayenne pepper
teeny bit of cumin
Slice tempeh and place in a steamer and steam 10-15 min (usually only takes 10). This is to get the bitter taste out (which tempeh tends to have).
Place in a container with all the rest of the ingredients and thoroughly saturate the tempeh. Let sit for as long as possible (overnight is ideal) then fry and enjoy in sustitute of bacon (tlt's are the best!).
The little one can eat about 5 slices of these in 5 min :)
Enjoy!
