Stir Fry Tempeh with Kale Tomato Sauce

Tempeh is one of the best soy products and is a tradition Asian soy dish from Indonesia. Tempeh is one of the healthiest foods as it is high in protein, high in fiber and so much more. Some of its healthiest contents are large amounts of folate, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium and iron. Its suitable for a vegan diet, and gives a nice hearty consistency that’s very different from tofu which is a nice way to mix it up for those who don’t eat meat. Replacing meat and dairy with tempeh and other soy products can also lower total cholesterol intake by about 125 milligrams per day, and lower saturated fat by about 2.4 grams per day according to WHFoods.com.

Cooking tempeh can be tricky and challenging. In Indonesia, people often fry tempeh until it’s crisp, then eat it with sambal or fresh chilies and prepare it as a main meal. You can buy tempeh at Asian markets or healthy food stores like Trader's Joe, Jimbo's, Sprout's and Whole Foods. I usually buy some organic Tempeh from my local Trader's Joe because the quality is pretty good and price is much cheaper than competitor stores (around $1.99 per package).
