Method
Step 1
Bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil. Add in tempeh and boil for 10 minutes, to remove bitterness. Remove from water onto paper towels and allow to drain and dry. Cut into 4 pieces.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, add all of the marinade ingredients and whisk together. Add tempeh and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
Step 3
Once marinaded, preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 4
Add the tempeh to the pre-lined baking sheet and bake until the tempeh is deeply golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 5
To make the slaw, mix all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
To serve, add 1 piece of baked tempeh to a pretzel bun and top with slaw. Add additional vegan mayo, lettuce, sprouts and cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
