Method

6 steps · 90 minutes

Slice the tempeh as thin as you can hold it, about 1/8 inch. Anything thicker will dry on the outside and stay soft inside.
Steam it for 10 minutes first. Untreated tempeh keeps a bitterness that four hours of drying will not remove.
Toss the slices in the tamari, oil and spices and lay them out on a rack, not on a baking sheet. Air has to get underneath.
The lowest your oven goes, ideally 200F, with the door propped open a crack on a wooden spoon.
Ninety minutes, turning once. It is done when it is leathery and bends before it snaps.
Cool completely before it goes in a jar. Warm, it steams itself soft again overnight.
