Szechuan Marinated Tempeh

In this recipe, I wish to combine the unique taste of Szechuan sweet peppercorn with the natural nutty flavor of tempeh. I think it works really well. Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a try.

  • 200 g tempeh Cut into squares
  • 1 tsp ground szechuan peppercorn

Notes

  • You can find szechuan peppercorn in powder form, it still work for this recipe but the taste will not be as pungent.
  • You can reduce the amount of Szechuan Peppercorn and Ground chilli as desired if you prefer milder marinate.
  • I often use this marinated tempeh as meat alternative in a fresh spring roll
