Never tried it before this week, and am thinking it's an acquired taste!:laugh: Don't know what i was expecting

    Did you boil it first? I love tempeh with BBQ sauce. One of my favorite foods.

    It was cooked in liquid with veg and quinoa. How long do you boil it for then? Will try again. But I think I much prefer tofu!

    I like it, but the boy does not want it on the menu too often because it has a more prominent taste than tofu or seitan or quorn.

    I usually first slice it about 1cm thick, then steam for at least 5 minutes, and then pan fry it with very little oil (just brushed a bit so it colors better), then add whatever sauce I feel like using that night.

    Edited to add: the steaming is to remove the bitterness it can have. Throw the water away! So I'd still steam it before adding it to anything else even if it's going to be boiled, because that flavour stays in the liquid.
