Tempeh strips with avocado

Sliced thin and fried hard, tempeh crisps at the edges and stays chewy in the middle, which is the texture people actually want out of a breakfast slice.

  • Smoked paprikaa good pinch
  • Lemona squeeze

Method

6 steps · 20 minutes

  1. Slice the tempeh as thin as it will let you, 1/8 inch or so. Thick slices stay soft in the middle and taste of the bean.
  2. Toss the slices in the paprika and half the tamari and leave them five minutes.
  3. Fry them in a single layer in a hot pan and resist turning them for two full minutes.
  4. The rest of the tamari goes in at the very end, off the heat, where it glazes instead of burning.
  5. Fan the avocado alongside and salt it separately. Avocado seasoned in the bowl goes watery.
  6. A squeeze of lemon over both, which does more for the tempeh than it does for the avocado.
