Peanut Satay Tempeh Skewers
This rich and flavourful satay tempeh sauce is super easy to make and is absolutely delicious served with marinated tempeh and a fresh and crunchy Asian rice slaw.
Tempeh, following the likes of jackfruit and dairy-free milk, one of the biggest plant-based food trends set for 2020 is tempeh. Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermenting soybeans with live cultures, creating a natural plant protein used as a meat alternative for many dishes such as stir-fries, curries and salads. Like tofu, tempeh is made from soybeans, but it uses the whole bean and is fermented, which gives it a more savoury nutty flavour, firmer texture and greater nutritional benefits.
