If you’re looking for grilled tempeh recipes that don’t feel like an afterthought, this one delivers serious BBQ Korean recipe energy without the meat.
Tips & Tricks
- Steam the tempeh first. Before you throw it on the grill, simmer or steam it for 10 minutes. It softens the texture and helps your BBQ tempeh soak up more flavor.
- Don’t rush the char. Tempeh grilled properly should have golden, slightly crisp edges. Let it sit undisturbed on the grill for a few minutes before flipping.
- Balance the bowl. For the best tempeh meals, mix warm grilled elements with something fresh, crisp cucumbers, quick pickled onions, or shredded cabbage to keep it feeling like true Korean comfort food, not just another vegan tempeh recipe.
