    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the tempeh into thin slices or cubes to allow the pickling liquid to penetrate more easily.

    2

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the tempeh, and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

    3

    Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, water, brown sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.

    4

    Add the thinly sliced garlic, bay leaves, chili flakes, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and ginger. Simmer over low heat for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    5

    Pack the blanched tempeh into sterilized jars, then pour the hot, spiced brine over it.

    6

    Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop.

    7

    Serve chilled as a flavorful, spicy pickle, or alongside vegetarian and vegan dishes.
