This BBQ Glazed Tempeh is perfect for your next summer cookout (just 20ish minutes to make!). Do you have a favorite tempeh recipe? Let me know below! Lately I'm obsessed with this BBQ tempeh in a sandwich with vegan mayo, cabbage/carrot slaw, and pickled jalapeños 🤤 Printable recipe: rainbowplantlife.com/bbq-tempeh/
I do something similar to this but with a hot wings twist. After cooking I add in my lazy wings sauce, which is just equal parts vegan butter and a vinegar based hot sauce. Great on a bun with your hemp ranch and some pickles or over rice etc.
I grew up in Bali, Indonesia eating tempeh, a dish called tempe manis and it’s so delicious. It’s fried tempeh mixed with a sweet soy sauce, garlic and chili. Indonesians make the best tempe! I understand why a lot of people don’t like tempe, it’s because they’re not eating it correctly!!
I don’t like tempeh because it is usually bitter and tasteless. However, this Indonesian tempeh sounds amazing! If you happen to have a recipe for tempeh manis, I’d love to give it a try!! 😍
@@jasmineh617 You can minimize the bitter flavor by boiling the tempeh for about 10 minutes. I cut mine into the pieces I want and boil it and then I proceed with the rest of the recipe as usual. It softens the tempeh which I have found helps it to absorb more flavors and it also reduces the bitterness.
if you love deep-fried, try tempeh fritter, cut the tempeh thin and wide like a card then season the batter with coriander seed, spring onion and garlic. it is a staple food for Indonesian.
I'm Brazillian and we don't have access to much Tempeh here, but I recently found a vendor that sells A TON of vegan stuff we don't find in the market (including tempeh) and i'm very excited to try this recipe. Also, I've been a vegetarian for just 9 months but seeing your videos inspire me to become a vegan! I'm just a little scared that when I go out to eat at restaurants It will be 10x harder to order anything, but I guess it's a small price to pay... :)
I just had tempeh in a curry this evening for dinner, and wondered what other ways I could use it! You were obviously ahead of me, Nisha! I'll make a note of this one and try it out soon. I have two more blocks of tempeh in my freezer so all I have to do is get hold of some liquid smoke! Very happy with this recipe. Thank you.
i made this the other day and it's so good! i've tried making tempeh a couple of other ways and wasn't a huge fan (i normally don't even love bbq sauce!) but this was easy and really delicious.
Indonesian here. The simplest way to cook tempeh, and one of my favourite, is to marinate it in vinegar, water, and salt. Then fry it. Salty goodness there. Also my dog's favourite snack.
Personally, as a Javanese native, I much prefer plain fried tempe, either coated with flour or garlic water (?). I'd never boil tempe or put it in any liquid, but this one looks delicious.
Thank you Beautiful! I will definitely try this recipe. Tempeh is an area I sadly have failed at :-( I've tried several ways, so many that now my husband has begged me to give up on tempeh! LOL! This looks like a winner! (I'm not telling the hubby its tempeh)... :-)
Can you do more beyond meat recipes? I am in love with this stuff. i recently found out about it, but don't know many recipes. i love to watch you. Your videos are fun, inspiring and very very easy to follow.
I didn't get much out of tempeh for years (I had no access to Indonesian recipes and barely knew about it through the Vegan grapevine). Then I experimented with slicing it thin and steaming it with liquid smoke. It makes for a great fast food.
It's a pity that all the tempeh I've had has been so bitter, because it's so nutritious. Maybe slicing it thin like this will help cook out that flavor. I can taste it for hours. I'll give it a shot.
@@TKevinBlanc Try boiling it for 10 minutes beforehand. I cut my tempeh into cubes or strips and then boil for 10 minutes and then proceed with the recipe. It softens it, which I have found helps it to absorb flavors and it also reduces the bitterness.
make ur own tempe, i think tempe it's easy to expire, maybe it can only last 3 days. I once bought tempeh at the NY foodmarket and I think the taste is very different from the one in Asia, I think the freshness has been decrease.
In Indonesia, I grew up eating Tempeh!!! Really wanna try to make the vegan bbq sauce but some of the ingredients are unfortunately hard to find here in the Netherlands :(
@@TKevinBlanc hehe yea that's true. What I meant was I wanted to try to make bbq sauce my own based off of Nisha's recipe and that idk where to get some of the ingredients. But i think you're right store-bought will do just fine! 😄
It's just tomato catsup, liquid smoke flavoring, and a bit of molasses/dark syrup. It's really more of an American thing, and there's alot of regional variations. My favorite is mustard barbacue sauce.
Usually, yes, to remove its characteristic bitterness. But I find that the bold flavors of the BBQ sauce make it unnecessary here (at least for my taste buds).
Ah thanks, I've recently begun using tempeh. My favourite recipe so far is Cereal Tempeh, a vegan version of Cereal Chicken, it's so good and you can substitute the Cereal they use with oats if you can't find it in your country.
Most tempeh I’ve found I had to steam to get rid of the butter flavor first. I only like tempeh in strips and can’t stand the texture if it’s crumbed for some reason.
so not specific to this video, but i just stumbled on your channel, very well done. i know that being vegan can be a challenge but you seem to have really mastered making appealing recipes. i would personally be interested in more vegan adaptations on Indian recipes, as i really enjoy Indian food, and while I 'm personally not vegan, people in my life are, so being able to share the food i make with them would be nice. I've messed around with some random "Indian inspired" lentil dishes, and by that i just mean i use various spices often found in Indian cuisine. I've also done a vegan adaptation of paneer makhani using tofu in place of the paneer and pureed and strained cashews in place of the cream. i don't know if you take requests, but i suppose that would be one, to show some other classic Indian dishes prepared vegan. prime example would be finding a replacement for ghee that isn't just oil.
as an indonesian: i think it's pretty stupid but i got *ridiculously* excited when i saw tempeh, just like "OMG SOMEONE THAT'S PROBABLY NOT INDONESIAN KNOWS TEMPEH"
What pan are you cooking with? I need a new one so badly as my cast iron can’t handle this type of recipe. I am trying to avoid Teflon but I’m at the point that I might just give in so I can make recipes such as these
Yo I'm not even vegan but I follow you caus I can appreciate the dishes! Really mess with all the colors going into the dishes and I've been trying to incorporate some of the vegan dishes in my diet! Anyways thank ya thank ya, found you tryna make lentils!
Hey, I am enjoying your videos. I know asking this question might be a shot in the dark. I am currently body building. I eat mostly chicken breast for my protein, and i usually eat around 110 gms of protein. Do you think its feasible to achieve that on a vegan diet?
Theres...so many great bbq sauces. I wouldnt skimp on something like that for a bbq. Besides....if it doeant have meat they're not interested. My potato salad always gets torn the f up tho. Cus I dont put weird things and it has ganic and mustard in it.
Yes - standard worcestershire sauce is not vegan. I used vegan worcestershire sauce (as detailed in the accompanying blog post: rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-bbq-sauce/#recipe)

I love the tempeh chili in your cookbook!
Tempeh bacon for tempeh blt sandwich
This is the first time I have watched your video. The glazed tempeh looks so delishes

When I have time, I would love to share tempe menu cooking style origin from my country, the origin of tempe

Ooh yes, I have tried it before and it's amazing! I really want to try making it at home. The flavors are outrageously good.
I don’t like tempeh because it is usually bitter and tasteless. However, this Indonesian tempeh sounds amazing! If you happen to have a recipe for tempeh manis, I’d love to give it a try!! 😍
oh I love tempeh and i love the way the Indonesians make it -dry sambal with tofu and peanuts

@@Spiralsinto I will definitely try this. Thank you!
Just remember most Worcestershire sauce has fish in it. But loads of vegan options are available
Yep, I include some vegan brands in the blog post :)
I use vegan Worcestershire sauce - it uses kelp and other seaweeds to help with flavour
Yeah I made this mistake 🤦🏻♂️
Some don’t- the one I use uses tamarind instead 😌
@@plasticspoon4275 I will keep an eye out for a tamarind one :)

Thanks for sharing!! You can do it!
Looks fantastic, although I'd cook the entire strip on both sides first, then slice them up so you're not trying to flip every little piece.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's so obvious really.
I just had tempeh in a curry this evening for dinner, and wondered what other ways I could use it! You were obviously ahead of me, Nisha! I'll make a note of this one and try it out soon. I have two more blocks of tempeh in my freezer so all I have to do is get hold of some liquid smoke! Very happy with this recipe. Thank you.
I love that you could probably use tofu in replacement of this as well and it would be just as yummy! 🤤
Definitely! I’ve used it to marinade tofu and then put it on the grill, brush more sauce on at the end, and it’s amazing!
i made this the other day and it's so good! i've tried making tempeh a couple of other ways and wasn't a huge fan (i normally don't even love bbq sauce!) but this was easy and really delicious.
Looks so good, can’t wait to try. Hemp ranch recipe please??
Ohhh! Amazing! I have pretty much only tried tempeh as "bacon". I'm happy to see a new recipe using it.
Indonesian here. The simplest way to cook tempeh, and one of my favourite, is to marinate it in vinegar, water, and salt. Then fry it. Salty goodness there.
Also my dog's favourite snack.

I tried this tempeh last week in a sandwich and the whole family loved it!
That's so nice to hear, Liz! Thanks for sharing!
I made this on Sunday! It was the best! The bbq sauce was way better than store bought! The sandwich was insanely good! Thank you!
This girl can cook man! And she is absolutely gorgeous.
true!!

I use mostly non-vegan recipes for beyond and Impossible meat and veganize them.
Love it 🤩

Only Nisha can make me want to eat tempeh!
Haha I hope you get to try it out, Nedina!

@@TKevinBlanc try placing the tempeh in a hot pan with layer of water and wait for water to evaporate!! Steaming reduces bitterness
FUN TEXTURES AND FLAVORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😲 😱 😲 😱 😲 😱 😲
I'm so happy that you finally got super famous in YT , Nisha! ❤️🥺😍 Love your work since a long time, congrats
That looks so good!!!
Excellent, Morrisons (in the UK) just started selling tempeh.
Yum! I hadn’t had tempeh in a while but picked up some today. Perfect timing. 🙂
Yea, I am here after just 6 mins!!! I was waiting since yesterday when I discovered your account!
Lovely to hear that, Navitha! Thank you for being here!
tempe dont even taste bitter at all , i dont know what it taste in your country . but in indonesia . they taste nutty and even sweet

Is store-bought BBQ sauce hard to find? I haven't found one yet that isn't vegan. Might not be as good as Nisha's, but might be good enough.
@@TKevinBlanc hehe yea that's true. What I meant was I wanted to try to make bbq sauce my own based off of Nisha's recipe and that idk where to get some of the ingredients. But i think you're right store-bought will do just fine! 😄
Hahahah, I feel you. We don't even have tempeh in Turkey, so I will try it with tofu and store bought vegan bbq :(
It's just tomato catsup, liquid smoke flavoring, and a bit of molasses/dark syrup. It's really more of an American thing, and there's alot of regional variations. My favorite is mustard barbacue sauce.
This was soooo good!! It was my 1st trying tempeh, and I was not disappointed. It was great!!
This looks really good! Do you steam your tempeh before frying it?
Usually, yes, to remove its characteristic bitterness. But I find that the bold flavors of the BBQ sauce make it unnecessary here (at least for my taste buds).
Apart from tempeh, there is tofu which is also made from soybeans. Indonesians respect vegans
We need to try tempeh
For anyone wanting to make this without the liquid smoke flavoring, I just use 1 1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika and it's amazing!
Love your channel! Beware: Worcestershire Sauce is not generally vegetarian, as it contains anchovies. There are alternatives.
I`m not vegetarian but i`m not one of those who always have to eat meat. I really like your recipes. Thank you
Imo olive oil tangy taste dont go well for cooking tempeh, peanut oil would best compliment tempeh taste
Ah thanks, I've recently begun using tempeh. My favourite recipe so far is Cereal Tempeh, a vegan version of Cereal Chicken, it's so good and you can substitute the Cereal they use with oats if you can't find it in your country.
That bbq sauce!! Omygoodness
Love this quick style recipe.
Thanks!! This, I NEED to try!
Looks delicious!
Looks so delicious 😋
I’ve only ever had tempeh once and I did not like it, so I’m scared to try it again...but not gonna lie this is tempting me!! 🤩
Most tempeh I’ve found I had to steam to get rid of the butter flavor first.
I only like tempeh in strips and can’t stand the texture if it’s crumbed for some reason.
@@chrispicakes6577 Weird, because crumbled as taco meet is the only way I like it.
@@chrispicakes6577 agreed. I boil mine for 10 minutes to reduce the bitterness. It also seems to help it absorb flavors better.
Yum!
Yummmm! That bbq sauce seems really tasty and simple.
Excellent!!!
that looks amazing!!!!
i love these shorts SO MUCH! so much inspo
I just made this. It was delicious and surprisingly filling!! 🌱☀️🌈

Were you serving it hot from the pan, or do you serve it room temperature or chilled?

Looks delicious! :) I can imagine this would go well with some coleslaw too?
absolutely! so good with coleslaw or potato salad (I have an herbed potato salad on my blog that is pairs beautifully with).
@@RainbowPlantLife I’ll check it out, thank you! :)
Yum!! This looks like it'd be yummy in tacos and fajitas too :)

interesting! Thank yoy for giving me a new information😍
Real Worcestershire Sauce will have anchovies in it.

Nisha, How did you add the "Super Thank You" button to the CZcams stream? Please Respond, Love :)
Do you have a recipe for the ranch and pickled cabbage?
I do this with tofu too!
Deep fried tempe for more crunchy
You need a cookbook.
Don’t you have to boil or soak or do some kind of prep to tempeh to get rid of the bitterness?
The real Tempeh its not bitter at all😮
Where do you get tempeh? I find it hard to locate in stores :(
Where can I find the hemp ranch recipe?
Worcestershire sauce is not vegetarian or vegan
It has anchovies (fish)
It’s called tempe raos in indonesia
What pan are you using?
How do I get these recipes?
You’re so beautiful ❤ also love your videos
I wanna know that hemp ranch!!
I hope your Worcester sauce doesn't have clam juice in it. Who makes cruelty free Worcester sauce? None found in my rural town.

Whole Food's and Annie's both make vegan versions fyi!
@@RainbowPlantLife we don’t have anything like them in Australia. Ah well. I’ll think of an alternative. Thank you for the info though.
