1 cup beer
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions:Cut tempeh into twelve equal length strips. In bowl mix all other ingredients (except for oil) with a wire whisk until thoroughly mixed. Heat oil for deep frying. Dip a few tempeh strips into beer batter and then place in oil. Once they are golden brown remove to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Continue with all remaining tempeh strips.

Holy cow- these are fantastic. I made just the battered tempeh for dinner tonight. I would DEFINITELY recommend it for kids, whether it be in these awesome-sounding tacos or just tempeh fingers with some ketchup or barbecue sauce. Thanks for the great recipe!

wow. these are great! i the batter really cooks like a fish batter and the consistancy of the tempeh flakes just enough to be like real fish. i also added some toffutti sour cream the second time i made these and it was great on the tacos. makes enough for plenty of left overs too! just be sure to use a vegan beer.

My boyfriend, a longtime veggie with a deep, persistent desire to eat chicken fingers, made these last night, and they were amazingly satisfying and delicious! Next time I think well marinate the tempeh in something salty and vinegary, though we would stongly recommend the tempeh fingers as is! Quite a treat! Thanks!
