Thai Tempeh Recipes

THAI-STYLE TEMPEH CURRY

Steps:

• Broil or grill the tempeh until it is well browned all over. When it is cool enough to handle, cut diagonally into slices about ¼-inch thick. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok or wide sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the coriander seeds and fry for a few seconds until they start to darken. Then add the garlic, jalapeño, and ginger. Stir-fry until the garlic starts to color slightly. Add the onions, carrots, and Italian pepper, and stir-fry until they begin to soften but not brown.
• Add half the shredded cabbage. Stir-fry the cabbage until it starts to soften, then add the tempeh slices and gently mix in with the veggies. Cook for a minute. Add the turmeric, ground coriander, and cayenne, and mix to coat the tempeh and vegetables. Cook, stirring, for a minute. Do not let the spices burn.
• Add the remaining cabbage, coconut milk, ¼ cup of water (use it to rinse out the coconut milk stuck in the can), salt or fish sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well. Cover and turn the heat down to simmer.
• Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until cabbage is tender, checking that nothing is sticking. Add some more water if looks too dry. It should be saucy but not swimming. When the cabbage is cooked, remove cover, add the lime juice and cilantro, and mix well. Adjust seasonings. Cook for another minute. It's ready!
