Tempeh???

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Kamini!

 

The other day I bought some soy tempeh. I haven't cooked or eaten tempeh

in probably 10 or so years. I'd forgotten how good it is! The kind I get

here in the States, Turtle Island, comes already steamed so it's ready to

go. So far, all I've done is grilled it on the BBQ and served it on a

salad and in a BBQ stirfry (done on the barbie with one of those special

small woks with many holes in them -- between the flareups and the hickory

smoke, it was really flavorful!).

 

I was wondering, what do you all do with tempeh to spice it up a

little? Any good marinades, recipes, rubs?

 

Thanks much!

Tempeh, a wonderful Indonesian invention, is one of those excellent foods

that takes on the flavour of what it is cooked with or marinated in, as you

suggest. I mainly use it in asian dishes, indonesian to be correct but I'm not a

purist. Check the Files on our homepage and look in the folder marked Main

Courses and Side Dishes - you'll find examples like these:

 

Fried Caramel Tempeh

Red-Gold Tofu Curry - which is very good made with tempeh

Sambal Goreng Tempeh

Spicy Indonesian Tempeh

Tempeh Curry

Tempeh in Coconut Sauce

Tempeh-Rice Medley

 

That help at all? I'm sure I've missed a bunch of them.

 

Best luck,
