Any Given Day

If I'm home working during the noon hour, lunch is usually a tuna sandwich, peanut "noodles" or some combination of refrigerator ingredients strung together for a balanced plate.

Today was no different. But today featured an old friend. Tempeh.

If you haven't quite made it to the tofu stage, tempeh might be a good first step. It's a bit more texturized than tofu and soaks up the flavor of whatever it is sauteed in (Trader Joe's island soyaki sauce). I learned that in order for it to taste best, you must steam it for a few minutes before sauteing. This removes any bitter taste.

Paired with a slice of The Black Sheep deli whole wheat bread and kale and it's time for lunch!

Question of the Day: Have you ever tried tempeh?
