Assemble ingredients.

You will need a small bowl to start. In the bowl, you want to add the soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, olive oil, and pepper flakes.

Whisk these ingredients together and set the bowl aside.

Over medium-high heat, you want to heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan. When it’s hot, add the cubed tempeh and cook. When sufficiently browned, remove the cooked tempeh from the pot and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.

With the pot you just emptied, add the sauce and cook on medium-high heat for between 30 seconds and 1 minute. Make sure that you are constantly stirring until the sauce begins to thicken.

Then, take it off the heat.

Add the cooked tempeh while stirring well.
