- 1/4 cup soy sauce, preferably naturally brewed
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 pound tempeh, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup natural-style unsalted peanut butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably naturally brewed

- For the tempeh: In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oils, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, ginger, and garlic.
- In a large saute pan, arrange the tempeh in a single layer, pour the marinade over it, and bring it to a boil over high.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Uncover, raise the heat, and cook the tempeh until the pan is nearly dry.
