After getting home from visiting little Austin, we made a delicious new recipe, Spicy Thai
Tempeh with Cashews!
Tempeh is a soy food that has been eaten in Asia for hundreds of years. It is made from cooked and slightly fermented soybeans and formed into a patty, similar to a very firm veggie burger. Although
tempeh is made tofu,
tempeh is also very high in protein and calcium, as well as beneficial
isoflavones, but tastes nothing like tofu.
Tempeh has a textured and nutty flavor. Depending on the brand, one serving of
tempeh provides around 200 calories, 18.2 grams of protein (that's even more protein per gram than tofu!), and 10% of the RDA of both calcium and iron.
Tempeh is a naturally cholesterol-free food, as are all vegan foods.
For our meal, I steamed and then crumbled the
tempeh and used it in the stir fry like ground meat. We served it with tofu
shirataki noodles (also low
carb, high protein), for a delicious vegetarian complete meal. Robb even gobbled it up, so it had to have been good!
We served it with homemade
potstickers and spring rolls! What a fabulous dinner!
Besides the
tempeh, this recipe had red onion, roasted red pepper, cashews, and green onion. It was mouth watering!
