If you\u2019ve ever picked up a block of tempeh in a health food shop or supermarket and wondered what on earth to do with it, read on for tips with tempeh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be funny looking stuff, but I promise that once you get the hang of cooking with it, you\u2019ll quickly find it becomes a regular on the menu. Tempeh is a good source of protein and the dense texture is very satisfying, so it’s a good option for anyone trying to eat less meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like tofu, tempeh is made from soy bean. However, tempeh is fermented and compacted into a dense cake with a chewy texture and a more robust flavour than tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tempeh used to be hard to find but now with brands such as Tiba, Pauls and Plant Power offering natural organic versions, you can usually find it in your local supermarket. Just a word of caution here: with the rise of veganism and a justifiable move away from meat, the plant based supermarket offering has got considerably larger. Unfortunately, the quality of the food on offer does not always match the quantity. Most of it is still highly processed, full of salt, preservatives and artificial flavourings that we want to be avoiding. So don\u2019t fall for tempeh (or tofu) that has already been processed into something that looks tasty; buy the original tempeh and then make it delicious yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
