Steam or simmer 10 min before cooking to reduce bitterness. Marinates well — it's porous. Crumbles great as a ground meat sub.

How do you bake tempeh?

Bake at 28–18 min. Marinate first. Flip halfway.

Air Fry at 16–13 min. Cubed or sliced. Shake halfway.

Sauté at 4–5 min/side. Sliced. Get a good crust. Tamari glaze is classic.
