Tempeh recipes are quickly becoming a favorite and Tempeh itself is becoming a favorite ingredient in households across the country. It's turning up in more local grocery stores everyday! If you ask your grocery store to carry Tempeh, they will most likey put it on the shelves! Tempeh is a fermented whole soy bean cake that originated in Indonesia. We like it because it has lot's of protein and it's a little easier to use than tofu. And it has an amazing texture! We like to get Tempeh pre-cooked so we can use it straight out of the package. The flavor can be a little pungent this way, but a quick sautee with some spices will add amazing flavor to this awesome ingredient!
