Teriyaki Tempeh with mushrooms and soba noodles. Homemade Vegan Teriyaki Sauce. How to make teriyaki sauce Tempeh & mushrooms. Vegan recipe. Easily Gluen-free. Serves 2
Some days when I pass by a place which used to be a favorite in my pre-gan days, I realize that I havent eaten or made some type of food in years.. Teriyaki is one of them. The sauce is easy and it left me wondering why I had not made this before!
The Tempeh gets all sticky and delicious after being cooked in the sauce. The mushrooms get chewy and saucy and hubbs loved them even more. Seriously, make this!
To balance out the sweet in the sauce, I tossed the Soba in Sriracha.. Doesnt that stuff make everything even more delicious:). This bowl can be made gluten-free with gf noodles/soba or serve with brown rice or quinoa. I used Buckwheat Soba which has wheat in it.

This is one quick weeknight meal. Add other things like Tofu or Seitan or blanched Veggies. The Teriyaki Sauce is refined oil-free and can be made ahead and drizzled on blanched or roasted veggies.
This was another super hit with hubbs. I added even more Sriracha to my noodles. Button mushrooms are growing on me now, but Shiitake need some work.

Steps:
Cook the Tempeh for 2-3 minutes. Then add mushrooms and cook until tempeh and mushroom edges are golden.

Add the teriyaki sauce.

Cover and cook on low heat until the sauce is almost absorbed and starts to caramelize and bubble. Transfer the Tempeh and Mushrooms to the Soba bowl.
Add a Tablespoon or so water to the pan. mix and pour sauce over the noodles.
Look at all that delicious Sauce.

Top with Bean Sprouts, carrot or cucumber slivers.

Found this when I did a search for the shiitake I needed to use up. So glad I did! Super tasty, and helped me get over my fear of cooking tempeh.
James
The glaze on the tempeh and mushroom looks absolutely delicious. I have some leftover soba noodles and tempeh so just need to get some shiitake and this is getting made!
Sue
Is this the same yummy teriyaki sauce that is in your new book? Have done the Cauliflower, Tempeh and Butternut Squash for last two weeks (made a 3 serving batch of sauce). This looks like a nice alternative – I could just fry up some tempeh and mushrooms and chuck in the last batch of sauce I have?
Richa
You can use either of the teriyaki sauces with this. Goes so well with the tempeh!
Rachael
Hi! Is blackstrap molassess necessary or is regular molassess ok?
Richa
you can use regular.
Danielle
Amazing sauce! Made the teriyaki sauce for the chickpea filling of your Bao buns today, and while the buns came out quite lovely it was the sauce that stole my heart. I’m definitely trying this recipes out next time – I might try subbing in the noodles for brown rice and mushrooms for broccoli. Yum, thanks for the recipe Richa!!!!
Richa
Awesome! yes the sauce is definitely great with anything and everything!

Making this for dinner tonight…decided to marinate the tempeh in the sauce for while before…I am so looking forward to dinner…don’t know if I can wait!
Keely
Eden Foods has a 100% buckwheat soba that’s gluten free! I plan on using that to make this recipe this week. Can’t wait!

I just made this and it was soooo good! I used agave nectar in place of molasses and stevia instead of sugar,also added some fresh organic broccoli?Definitely a winner! Thanks!
Abby Bean
I’m with you; shiitake mushrooms are icky. I made this last night subbing broccoli for the shrooms and it was amazing. I skipped the pasta because I over sauced (on purpose!) and chose instead to add jasmine rice to the pan- giving it a great fried rice feel.
I’m new to your blog, but really appreciate how you often tie in the movement. Still, I’m here for the grub! Much respect.

This looks absolutely incredible. That tempeh looks soooo delectable and I can never say no to anything with Sriracha. 🙂
erinwyso
Richa, This is all kinds of lovely and wonderful! Beautiful colors and amazing looking tempeh!
Hannah
That looks -so- good! Rich but still light and full of protein. The sprouted mung beans on top are a simply inspired addition- I would have never thought of that, but it sounds so good with the whole dish.
Daniela @ FoodRecipesHQ

The tempeh is absolutely glistening with deliciousness! You might just convert me to tempeh yet! So yummy Richa!

Of course, I will still continue to drool over all the goodies you make but at least I will be able to follow your recipes instead of pining for tempeh. Heh
I became vegan because I found out about the horrors in the dairy and egg industries. I later learnt about the bonus benefits of veganism on my health, spirit and the environment.

I have finally got my hands on tempeh starter. Assuming all things go well, thy sinful tempeh creations shalt not be a cause of torture to me any more, oh evil temptress! 😀
Alex @ delicious-knowledge.com
This looks delicious! The mung beans on top look great. I became vegan first for animal rights but then it evolved into the environment, my health, and every other reason out there 🙂 Alex @ Delicious-Knowledge.com

I became vegan at first for my health and as a personal challenge, then it evolved into my health and for the animals. Justin became vegan to support me and for the environment as well as his health 🙂
