Editors Review
Tempeh's is an Asian high protein food, its nutty flavor is something to die for and the reason for its popularity around the world. It is very intelligent of the Chef to try something like this with tempeh and come up with a healthy sandwich that is not restricted to Asians or rest of the world. Anyone who eats sandwich can try this. Even vegans can enjoy it as there is no animal product in the dish.Comments

great sandwich, but the health factor went out the window with all that shotening. An alternative is a touch of oil spray to give you a nice tosted texture without all the fat.

I couldnt find it at Safeway (local grocery store) or the Asian market. Ended up using Tofu instead, and it was just delicious. I am sure I can find this at Whole Foods but I didnt try. May be next week :)

Tamari literally means liquid pressed from soybeans, originally it was the thick brown liquid that pooled in casks of fermenting soybean miso. For centuries this tamari was a rare delicacy reserved for special occasions. Eventually producers learned to brew tamari as a liquid soy sauce that had similar characteristics as the original by-product of miso. This tamari is brewed from whole soybeans, sea salt, water, and koji (Aspergillus hacho). Tamari is wheat free and popular with those who have wheat allergies. Also, if you have the opportunity look for Shoyu soy sauce. These two, Tamari and Shoyu are like the Rolls Royce of soy condiment sauces, inexpensive and really wonderful!

Tempeh is available in most mainstream grocery stores in the U.S. Look in the produce section, usually next to tofu. If you are unable to find it there, check out any whole food markets, health food stores or Asian markets. if it's still a problem write me back and I'll find it somewhere for you! Thanks for the kind comments and I hope you'll be able to make this sandwich... It really is DELICIOUS! Toni

Tempeh is made from whole soybeans, so it's a fiber-rich food. It's also a generous source of many nutrients such as protein, calcium, B-vitamins and iron. Being fermented it's easily digested, has great texture and the nutrients are easily absorbed. Thankfully, with all the recent negative hype about soy, tempeh has, because of it's unique properties, avoided all the controversy!
