There’s something so satisfying about cooking with tempeh.
I remember the first time I tried it; I was blown away by its nutty flavor and firm texture.
This Miso-maple syrup Glazed Tempeh recipe has become a staple in my kitchen because it’s quick, easy, and bursting with umami goodness.
Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up that miso paste that’s been sitting in the fridge!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Tempeh is such a versatile ingredient! If you can’t find it, tofu would work too, but you might want to press it first to get out the extra moisture. The miso adds a savory depth that’s just divine, and maple syrup is a fantastic substitute for maple syrup—trust me, it works beautifully here!
Tips & Notes
- •I often double the glaze and keep some on hand for stir-fries or roasted veggies.
- •If you want a crispy texture, try broiling the tempeh for a couple of minutes after glazing!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add in a dash of sriracha for a spicy kick.
- •You can also throw in some steamed broccoli or bok choy for a more complete meal.
Storage & Freezing
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat in a skillet over medium heat to bring back that delicious glaze!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of miso?
Absolutely! White miso is milder and sweet, but you can experiment with red or yellow miso for a stronger flavor.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by steaming the tempeh for about 10 minutes. This helps soften it and allows it to absorb the flavors better.
- 2
While the tempeh is steaming, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl.
- 3
Once the tempeh is done steaming, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, toss it in the miso glaze until it's well-coated.
- 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the glazed tempeh. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until it's golden brown and caramelized.
- 5
Serve the tempeh hot, garnished with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy with rice or a fresh salad!
