How to Prepare Tempeh Breakfast Stacks [Vegan]

  1. Combine the broth, wine (if using), tamari, liquid smoke, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and mustard, ketchup, and sesame oil in an 8 x 11 inch (20 x 28 cm) dish. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Marinate the tempeh for 1 hour or up to 24 hours, refrigerated.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the onion for 3 to 5 minutes until translucent. Transfer to a small blender and add the mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vinegar, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and mustard. Process until smooth. Taste and add the additional vinegar, if desired. Process again. Return the sauce to the small skillet: the residual heat should keep it warm. If not, heat very gently over low heat.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully put the tempeh in the skillet to cook. It may spatter. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until browned. Turn over to cook the second side for 3 to 5 minutes, until also browned.
  7. Put an English muffin on each plate and top with 1/2 cup (10 g) of baby arugula, 1 tempeh patty, and 2 slices of tomato. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper on the tomatoes.
  8. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.
