  3. For the tempeh, combine the 2 Tbsp. tamari, 1 Tbsp.honey, garlic, 1 tsp oil, vinegar, and spices in a dish. Add the cubes tempeh and let sit to marinade for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  4. Set a frying pan to medium heat and once hot, add the other tsp. oil and tempeh. Toss for about 5 minutes or until crispy and brown.
  5. Gently heat the sauce over medium heat just before serving.
