Ingredients
- 1/4 cup tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce if not gluten-free)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the tempeh and water and set aside.
