INSTRUCTIONS

1.Marinate the tempeh: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, turmeric, garlic, lime juice, and oil. Add the tempeh cubes and mix well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (ideally an hour).
2.To make the peanut sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter with the coconut milk, soy sauce, tamarind paste, lime juice, chili, and sugar. Stir over low heat until the sauce thickens and all ingredients are combined. Shutdown.
3.Grilling tempeh: Thread the tempeh cubes onto skewers (if they are wooden, soak them in water beforehand to prevent them from burning). Grill or fry in a pan with a little oil until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes on each side.
