It was really good, but tempeh has a slightly bitter taste. I know that it has nothing to do with the recipe, as mushrooms and onion were amazing, do you have any advices how to reduce this bitter taste.

Glad you enjoyed it, Yuliia! Tempeh can definitely have a slight bitterness. For starters, the fresher the tempeh the better. The older it gets, the more bitter it can taste. I try to buy our tempeh from our Asian supermarket more often than our local 'normal' supermarket because I know the turnover is faster, and so the tempeh is likely to be more fresh. That could already help. Otherwise, steaming it for 10-15 minutes before using can help mellow out bitterness. You could also marinate it a bit longer in the yakitori sauce to let the flavours soak in more deeply ✨

Wow! That yakitori sauce was amazing! I have to add it more frequently to dishes because that taste was to die for!
