Taken from vegan with a vengeance by isa chandra moskowitz. This recipe has been slightly modified to make it sattvic (no garlic and onions.)

Steps

---

To make the marinade combine the soy sauce , cider , tomato paste and liquid smoke in a wide , shallow bowl or pan and mix with a fork until the tomato paste is fully dissolved.

---

Cut the tempeh into thin strips lengthwise.

---

You should be able to get about 12 strips.

---

Rub the strips with the hing.

---

Submerge the tempeh strips in the marinade and let sit , for at least an hour and up to overnight.

---

Heat the oil in an 11 or 12 inch skillet over medium heat.

---

Add the tempeh strips and cook for 4 minutes on one side.

---

The bottom should be nicely browned.

---

Flip the strips over and pour the remainder of the marinade over them.

---

If there isnt much marinade left add a splash of water.

---

Cover and let cook for 3 more minutes , or until the liquid is absorbed.

---

Uncover and check for doneness.

If necessary keep cooking uncovered until all sides are nicely browned.
