On its own, tempeh can be rather tasteless. Tempeh absorbs all the flavours of your marinate of choice and as such you can simply throw in your favourite ingredients and flavours and you'll get a tasty treat! It's not only delicious but protein-packed too.
This cheap source of protein (which cost around RM2.50 for a 150g packet) provides 19g of protein for every 100g serving size.
I've an interesting recipe for tempeh, which you can enjoy with salad or use as filling for your sandwich. I enjoy it ala big breakfast style :-)
