Chef Tom’s Sweet & Sour Tempeh

Chef Tom’s Sweet & Sour Tempeh is deliciously seasoned with our Miso Master Organic Miso Tamari. Tasty served between two slices of sourdough bread with onion, lettuce, tomato, sauerkraut and a touch of mustard or mayo. Add a few crunchy organic chips and some cold ice tea or lemonade and enjoy yourself a nice summer meal.

Chef Tom’s Sweet & Sour Tempeh

This Sweet & Sour Tempeh is great on a sandwich, or cut into cubes and served on top of a stir fry, salad, or pasta dish. I chose Miso Master Organic Miso Tamari for this recipe because I’m a fan of it’s thick consistency which coats the tempeh perfectly for grilling or pan frying. You can also use tofu in place of tempeh.
