When I was brainstorming recipes to include in my newest book, The Vegan Electric Pressure Cooker, one of the first I came up with was teriyaki tempeh.
Tempeh is so good with slower cooking techniques to soften and infuse flavor, and a pressure cooker is a great way to get the benefits of cooking for a longer time – but in only a few minutes!
Give it a try, and let me know what you think.
Teriyaki Tempeh & Broccoli
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup tamari soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or untoasted sesame oil, optional
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup or unrefined sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp fresh, grated
- 1 8-9oz package tempeh cubed
- 1/2 head broccoli chopped in large chunks
Instructions
- In your electric pressure cooker’s cooking pot, stir together the tamari, water, olive oil, maple syrup, cornstarch, and ginger. Add the tempeh and broccoli (or put the broccoli in a steamer basket on a trivet to cook above the tempeh, if you like). Close and lock the lid and ensure the pressure valve is sealed, then select High Pressure and set the time for 5 minutes.
- When the cook time is complete, quick release the pressure, being careful not to get your fingers or face near the steam release.
- Once all the pressure has released, carefully unlock and remove the lid and toss to combine.
