Tempeh is a bit like tofu’s fancier cousin. It is made from whole fermented soybeans packed into a block. Originally from Indonesia, it has become a true favorite around the world and a great healthy plant-based protein alternative. Because of its precious fermentation process, it has a stronger flavor than tofu, and since it's made from wholesome beans it also has a lumpier texture.
The great news is, it absorbs amazing flavors just the same and it is extremely versatile for cooking delicious plant-powered dishes.
This sweet and salty tempeh dish is the perfect base for many wholesome and delicious meals. If you’re wondering what would be the best side dishes to eat it with, we’ve got your back! As the recipe suggests, some simple steamed rice and veggies go hand in hand with the spiciness of the tempeh. But the truth is, you can pair this Ginger Lime Tempeh with so many yummy sides. It would be a fantastic addition to a colorful buddha bowl or a delicious filling for some spicy wraps. Get creative and embrace this healthy and flavor/protein-packed dish!
