Vegan Tempeh Recipe - Ingredients And Directions On How To Make The Perfect Vegan Tempeh

 By Heather Nauta

This vegan tempeh recipe is very easy, and the peanut dressing is delicious. If you've ever wondered what the difference between tempeh and tofu is, today if your lucky day! Both are made from soybeans, but while tofu is a processed soy product that is not fermented, tempeh is a fermented cake of whole soybeans.
The fermentation process makes the nutrients in the soy bean more available to us to absorb. The digestive system also has less trouble processing soy when it is fermented. Because tempeh uses the whole soy bean, you are eating all of the fiber and nutrients, while processing to make tofu removes parts of the soy bean.
If you've been trying to figure out how to use tempeh, try it in this delicious fresh vegetable salad, topped with rich peanut sauce.
Serves 2 as a meal, or 4 as a side.
Vegan Tempeh Recipe Ingredients

• 1 package tempeh
• half a cucumber
• 3 stalks celery
• 3 green onions
• 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
• 2 Tbsp apple cider or brown rice vinegar
• 1 Tbsp tamari (soy sauce)
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil (untoasted) or olive oil
• 1 clove minced garlic
• Chili paste to taste

Vegan Tempeh Recipe Directions

1. Start by preparing the sauce and whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, tamari, oils, garlic and chili paste together in a bowl. Start small and adjust chili to your taste. If you want a thinner consistency, add a bit of water. Leave the sauce to combine while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Chop the vegetables and cube the tempeh, making them approximately the same size, then toss them together in a bowl. Toss the sauce over them, and mix them to coat.
3. Garnish the finished salad with fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts. Healthy vegan tempeh recipes can be very simple and easy, yet incredible delicious.
