I usually pan fry it up real quick with soy sauce or pesto sauce. I think I also tried it with a peanut sauce and that was good too. At our local farmers market the "tempah lady" (I don't know her name!) also makes a black bean tempah which is really tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-tempeh#post-486372 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:30:22 +0000 keiki_mama 486372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-tempeh#post-486368 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:29:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 486368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha funny. and I don't care for tofu... it's okay.. but I think tempeh is healthier so that's why I eat it :) If it were just for taste, I probably wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-tempeh#post-486365 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:28:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 486365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: I have only one recipe I've used with it, and the coconut and curry were strong enough that the tempeh became just a filler/health food.</p> <p>@JoJoGirl: </p> <p>here is the coconut curry tempeh recipe :)<br /> 2 Tbsp coconut oil, divided<br /> ½ cup chopped onions<br /> 2 medium garlic cloves<br /> 3 heaping cups cauliflower<br /> 2 cups diced zucchini<br /> 1 Tbsp curry powder<br /> ½ tsp ground cinnamon<br /> ½ can of green chilies<br /> 1 16-ounce can coconut milk<br /> 1 10-ounce package of tempeh, cut into ½” pieces<br /> ½ cup raw cashews (opt.)<br /> Splash of tamari/soy sauce<br /> Cooked chicken, opt.</p> <p>Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 Tbsp coconut oil, onions, garlic, and saute until onions are translucent. Add<br /> cauliflower and zucchini; continue cooking a few more minutes. Add curry, cinnamon, chilies, and coconut milk, stirring to combine.<br /> Cover and simmer 10 minutes, until you have finished browning the tempeh (next step).</p> <p>In a smaller skillet, heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil and add tempeh pieces. Saute and stir frequently over medium heat until tempeh pieces<br /> are golden. Remove from heat and splash with tamari/soy sauce. Mix with the curried vegetables, remove from heat, and sprinkle<br /> with cashews if using. Serve over sautéed cabbage or brown rice.

I think the taste is bland but I made a curry coconut dish with it that is yummy! It's such a great source of protein so I'm keeping it in mind for when I get pregnant again. </p> <p>Do you like it or eat it? </p>
