Ingredients 

  • 1 cup Tempeh
  • 1 Cucumber Sliced or diced
  • ¼ cup Radishes Sliced
  • 1¼ cup Lettuce

BBQ Sauce

  • ⅓ cup Soy Sauce Low-sodium
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Miso Paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Spicy Mayo

  • 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Ketchup
  • ¼ teaspoon Hot Chilli Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Stovetop
  • Large Frying Pan

Instructions

  • Slice the tempeh into 1/2cm slices. Grate the ginger and garlic to a paste.
  • Make the BBQ marinade. Mix the soy sauce, sugar, white miso paste, ginger and garlic paste, apple cider vinegar and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
  • Add the sliced tempeh to the bowl of marinade. Ensure all the tempeh pieces are coated in the sauce and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but ideally overnight.
  • Very thinly slice the radishes. Chop the cucumber into thin batons. Carefully remove the leaves from the lettuce head, keeping them whole.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, ketchup, chilli sauce and garlic powder with a spoon until combined.
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. When hot, carefully transfer the pieces of tempeh to the pan reserving as much marinade back as possible. Sear the tempeh pieces for 1 minute on each side.
  • Pour the remaining marinade into a small dipping bowl to create your dipping sauce. Place the lettuce leaves onto a plate. Assemble the tempeh pieces onto the lettuce leaves and top with radish slices and cucumber batons.
  • Serve the filled lettuce leaves with the BBQ dipping sauce. Drizzle spicy mayo on top, or in a bowl to the side.
