A vegetarian delight with a hearty texture that is far more satisfying than pressed and grilled tofu. Most health food stores and some supermarkets carry packages of tempeh in the freezer or refrigerator section.

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages of tempeh
(or a 1 pound block or 4 tempeh burgers)
Marinade
Â¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons sake or white wine
Â¼ cup pineapple juice*
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
Â½ teaspoon white pepper

Directions

In a shallow baking dish, combine the ingredients for the marinade.
Cut each 8 ounce block of tempeh horizontally into 2 even square slices to get 4 burgers.
Place in marinade and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
Heat grill to medium-high to high temperature.
Oil grill rack with vegetable oil.
Remove tempeh from marinade and grill for 4 to 5 minutes.
Flip with a spatula and grill second side for 4 to 5 minutes.
Serve immediately on a wholegrain bun.
