This is Terri's method for making tempeh. It mellows out the flavor, which makes it compatible with a variety of sauces and marinades. What is tempeh?

Ingredients:

  • Tempeh

Preparation:

Nutritional Information: Each cup (about 166 grams, about 6 oz) of tempeh contains 8 grams of effective carbohydrate plus 8 grams fiber, 31 grams protein, and 320 calories.

Terri's directions:"Put the tempeh on a lightly oiled baking dish and pour a little tamari/soy sauce on the top surface and spread it around. Put it in the oven at about 300 degrees for about 15 minutes. Then turn it over and put some tamari/soy sauce on the other surface, and bake it for another 15 minutes. This takes any sharpness out of the tempeh. Then dice the tempeh up small and stir-fry it alone until it gets a bit crispy, before adding any of the vegetables."

Terri especially recommends her peanut sauce with tempeh - see directions on that recipe.
