Tempeh & veggies bowl
Tips:
This recipe contains a fascinating ingredient: tempeh. Originally from Indonesia, it is made from soya beans. The beans are soaked, boiled, drained, peeled, and left to cool. Once cooled, they are mixed with spores of the fungus Rhizopus oligosporus. Finally, they are packed into rectangular-shaped piles and incubated at 22-26ºC.
Brown sugar or honey can be used to prepare the sauce.
