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.

I adapted this based on what i had on hand and it was so delicious! I had purchased shiitake mushrooms at the farmer’s market this week. I didn’t have any Tempeh, so I used diced tofu. I totally forgot the ginger, but I did add some Thai basil, and will be making this quick dinner again. Thank you so much, Richa!
awesome! thanks so much for your kind comment!
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.
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!
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?
You can use either of the teriyaki sauces with this. Goes so well with the tempeh!
Hi! Is blackstrap molassess necessary or is regular molassess ok?
you can use regular.
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!!!!
Awesome! yes the sauce is definitely great with anything and everything!
