Tempeh recipes?

We Answered:

oooo! I know! I love tempeh.
Here's my really easy and fast recipe. I think I'll make some tonight. Thanks for the idea! :)

1 pkg tempeh, cut in thin strips, then halved. It's okay if they break.
2-3 zuccinis, chopped
Several handfuls of mushrooms, sliced
oregano, thyme, garlic, basil, 1tsp each fresh or dried
1/3 cup lemon juice
veg oil

Fry the tempeh and zuccinis in oil. Add lemon juice once tempeh turns golden brown, and fry a bit longer to decrease moisture. Add everything else and fry until done.
Add salt and pepper to taste. mmmmm.
Serve over rice or noodles.

Tempeh Wingz

These are my version of hot wings, with a slightly more mellow sauce.

Panko are japanese bread crumbs, Theyâ€™re bigger than regular bread crumbs, but if you canâ€™t find them regular bread crumbs are fine.

â– 1 8 oz package of tempeh
â– 1/3 c rice milk
â– 1/3 c flour
â– 1/2 t salt
â– 2 t thyme
â– 1 t paprika
â– fresh ground pepper, to taste
â– 1/2 t garlic powder
â– 2/3 c panko

Sauce:

â– 4 T margarine, melted
â– 2 1/2 T hot sauce
â– 4 T ketchup
â– 2 T agave nectar

In a small saucepan, boil about three cups of water. Cut the tempeh into four equal blocks, then cut those blocks into triangles, and carefully slice the triangles in half lengthwise. Put the tempeh in the boiling water and cover, for about fifteen mintes or until tempeh is softened. Pour the pan into a colander and rise with cold water. Allow the tempeh to cool enough that you can handle it.

While the tempeh is cooling, make the sauce. In a large pot, combine all of the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Make your assembly line for the wings. Put your soymilk in the first bowl, your flour and spices in the second, and your panko in the third. At the end of the line, have a greased baking sheet waiting.

Hopefully by now, the tempeh is cool enough to handle. Take a triangle, and dip it in the milk, then coat in flour. Then another quick dip in the milk before thoroughly coating it in the bread crumbs and placing it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the tempeh.

Spray the tops of the wings with cooking spray, and bake in the oven for ten minutes. Remove, flip over, and bake for ten more. Just before you take the wings out of the oven, heat the sauce over a medium heat until just warm - thereâ€™s no need to boil it, weâ€™re just trying to make sure the sauce isnâ€™t cold.

When you take the wings out, immediately transfer them to the pot and coat in the sauce. Serve immediately.

Deli Style No-Tuna Melt

Ingredients (makes enough for 4 sandwiches)
8 oz soy tempeh, crumbled into teeeny tiny pieces
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise (I use Vegenaise)
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 tsp dill
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. You can use this on a sandwich, or on a bed of greens for a no-tuna salad

If making a melt, preheat your cast iron skillet or pan. To get the best browning without added fat and calories, spray the pan with nonstick spray, then cook until browned, applyin pressure from the top with a spatula, spray the top with cooking spray, then flip, and apply pressure until browned.

Both of these recipes are great!
