Ingredients
  • Yakitori Marinade:
  • ½ Cup Liquid Aminos or Soy Sauce
  • ¼ Cup Mirin
  • 5 Tbsp Sake
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Agave Nectar
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Garlic Sauce or Sriracha
  • 3 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 inch Grated Fresh Ginger
  • ½ Cup Water
  • Fresh Shitake Mushrooms (Stems Trimmed)
  • 2 Packages Tempeh (Cut into Large Cubes) or make your own with this recipe.
  • Large thin skewers (We like to use wooden skewers and just soak them in water for an hour before preparing)
Instructions
  1. Light the grill to allow the coals to come to proper temperature.
  2. Wash and prepare all fresh produce.
  3. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and stir to combine.
  4. Place the tempeh cubes, mushrooms, and marinade into a shallow dish and allow to sit for at least an hour. We prefer longer marinating time to enhance the flavor. We usually prepare it the night before.
  5. After the tempeh and mushrooms have marinated, construct the skewers. Slide the tempeh and mushrooms onto the skewers until each skewer is filled up. Do not discard the left-over marinade. You can use it later to brush over the finished product.
  6. Grill the skewers for approximately 5-7 minutes, turn the skewers while they are grilling to assure even browning.
  7. Serve with extra marinade over salad or rice.
  8. Enjoy!
