  4. Add basil and sauces: Mix in chopped basil leaves and a splash of water. Let it cook for a minute. Then pour in the soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce.

  5. Stir everything together and let it cook for 2–3 more minutes until the Tempayy begins to caramelize and soak up the sauce.

Tips

  1. Use Thai basil if available—it gives the dish an authentic aroma.

  2. Want it spicier? Add a chopped red chilli or a dash of sriracha with the sauces.

  3. Always add Tempayy add in early, and let it cook until it turns golden brown. The longer it cooks, the better the flavour.

Tempeh is one of the best natural vegetarian sources of protein with a high protein and fibre content thanks to the natural fermentation process. For even the most inexperienced cook, the preparation of Tempeh is simple: simply unbox and use as cubes or mince the Tempeh, season/ marinate it liberally with your choice of spices, and sautee the Tempeh with a bit of oil for five to seven minutes. ...

Tempeh is plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free, with 19 grams of protein per 100 grams and only 1.6 grams of net carbs.
