Maple Tempeh Hot Dogs

Ingredients

140 g plain tempeh
3 tsp tomato paste
1 Tbs + 2 tsp soy sauce
3 Tbs pure maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
3 Tbs water
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
4 hot dog buns
2 green onions
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
Lettuce leaves, to garnish

Method

Cut the block of tempeh into 4 long sticks.

In a skillet or small saucepan, combine the tomato paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, water, liquid smoke, garlic powder and mustard.

Bring to a boil and add the tempeh ‘sausages’. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened, turning the tempeh a few times.

Top buns with mayonnaise, a tempeh dog and sauce, followed by green onions, cherry tomatoes and lettuce, along with any other garnishes of your choice.
