Tempeh is fermented tofu that is pressed into a cake and often mixed with brown rice and/or other whole grains. It is very high in protein, and makes an excellent meat substitute. Many people are confused by this mysterious food the first time they acquire it. They know they are supposed to cook it, but they’re not sure how to turn it into a meal. Tempeh, just like tofu, is an extremely versatile food that can be used to make a wide variety of vegan dishes, ranging from faux meatballs to croquettes.
