Preparation Tips
Tempeh can be steamed, fried, grilled, or baked. For best results, steam it for 10 minutes before cooking to remove any bitterness. It absorbs marinades well and can be sliced, cubed, or crumbled depending on your recipe. Try marinating in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for an Asian-inspired dish.
