Tempeh or Tofu- which do you prefer??

Tempeh is one of my favorite foods!!! I would check in the cookbook Veganomicon for some good recipes. I've made just about everything in there and I highly recommend them all. My favorite thing to do with tempeh is pan-fry it and glaze it with barbeque sauce.

I'm not a big fan of making tofu at home because I have a hard time getting it to the texture I prefer. I even have a tofu press, which was a good investment, but even that doesn't make it as firm as I'd like. I hate wiggly tofu :P haha

thanks!!! I'll def try that!

I don't like the taste of tempeh. You can make tofu firmer by pressing the water out. get a tofu press or put tofu between two cutting boards and put a couple big books on top for 30 minutes.

also freeze and thaw helps the texture.

I should add you should wrap it in towels when pressing it.

I always forget this and have a worktop full of curdy juice
