Ingredients

    1 (8 oz.) pkg. tempeh, halved lengthwise, then crosswise into 4 pieces
    1/4 cup low-sodium tamari (or soy sauce)
    2 Tbs. mirin (Japanese rice cooking wine)
    1 tsp. garlic powder
    1 tsp. onion powder
    4 whole grain hamburger buns

Tips

Suggested Toppings: Grainy mustard, Cheese, Guacamole or avocado slices, sliced jalapeņo peppers, tomatoes, Butter or Romaine lettuce,red onion slices, sauerkraut, or sliced dill or sweet pickles.


Directions

Cut tempeh in half and steam in or over simmering water for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small plate. Poke small holes in tempeh with a fork on both sides and set aside.

Mix tamari, mirin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a wide, shallow dish to make a marinade. Add tempeh, turning to coat, cover, and set aside for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Heat a grill over medium heat. Grill tempeh about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned with grill marks. Alternately, heat a small amount of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook tempeh for 3 to 4 minutes on both sides, until browned.

Serve tempeh on buns with your choice of toppings.
