What does tempeh taste like?

Described as having a pungent mushroom and nutty flavour, Tempeh recipes showcase the fact that it will readily absorb flavours of other ingredients. This is what makes it such a brilliant meat substitute. In traditional Indonesian cooking Tempeh is deep-fried in vegetable oil until golden brown and crispy but it embraces Western cooking so readily, making boiling, steaming, baking, microwaving, stir-frying or grilling it a breeze.

For Those Who Are Trying To Come Off Meat

You can even grate tempeh and for that ground meat texture just whack it in a food processor. Tempeh is that versatile! Grated tempeh is an easy way to introduce soy nutrients to people who enjoy meat.

Meeting the meat-eaters halfway needn’t be a battle with tempeh.

Using half tempeh/half ground meat for burgers and sauces will keep the meaty flavour along with gaining the health benefits of soy.

And for a simple tempeh marinade:

Water mixed with soy sauce

Lemon juice

Ground pepper

Coriander

Crushed garlic.

Cut the tempeh into cubes or slices and marinate for 1 to 4 hours for the absorption of flavours.
