Are you a vegan and want to try a new recipe using tempeh? You are in luck! Read on to learn how to make this delicious tempeh recipe. It’s flexible and works for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This recipe is super quick, easy and affordable.
Tempeh is one of my favorite plant-based protein sources. It’s type of flavorful, fermented soy beans and it’s very filling. I usually use one tempeh package to serve 2 people. My local Trader’s Joe sell tempeh for around $1.99 and it’s organic!
For this recipe, I use coconut and hemp oil to stir fry tempeh and vegetables. Coconut oil, unlike other vegetable oils is very stable when heated and does not create toxic byproducts. So it is a much better choice for stir fry. Don’t forget to break apart the tempeh with your hands before cooking. This recipe has little preparation because the tempeh package I purchased from the store is pre cooked. So please adjust your time according to the packaging.
Watercress is about as healthy a vegetable on Earth. In-fact, the superfood sets the bar (scores 100) in this article by the Washington Post which ranks powerhouse fruits and veggies:
The benefits are too long to list, I wish I had been eating this vegetable my whole life!

This looks like the perfect meal to wake up to. I really need to play around with tempeh more and I think I know what to make/try next 😉
I think this is a very interesting combination! I like using greens in egg omelets sometimes and find it adds a little flavor and crunch.
I’m so hungry right now. This looks so good. I have to make this tomorrow.
So I feel embarrassed that I don’t even kno=w what tempeh is lol. Thanks to Google, now I know. That looks so delicious!
I have to try this Tempeh thing. I have been looking for alternative protein sources and this may just be it. Wish me luck in my journey of finding tempeh.
Most asian markets carry tempeh. You can also find tempeh at Trader’s Joe, Wholefoods or Jimbos.
