  • Line sheet pans with parchment paper, set aside. Cut tempeh widthwise (1/2" thickness) and cut blocks diagonally to make triangle cutlets (about 2" cuts). Set aside and prepare sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Mix together gochujang, 1st addition sesame oil, 1st addition maple syrup, 1st addition soy sauce and 2nd addition rice vinegar, whisk to combine. Add tempeh triangles and toss to coat. Space pieces on parchment paper and bake in oven for approximately 20 minutes, until crispy.
  • Remove stems from mushrooms.
