Sesame Ginger Marinated Tempeh
This Sesame Ginger Marinated Tempeh recipe is high in calcium and protein as well as low in calories. It is cooked in a 200-degree oven to ensure the sesame oil doesn’t oxidise and turn rancid. Check out our blog on oils smoke points here. Unlike tofu, tempeh uses the whole soybean. Which means, the fermentation process and the use of the whole soybean means that tempeh is higher in protein, calcium, dietary fibre, and vitaminsI always recommend using only organic soy products since soy is the highest genetically modified food in the world. NutriSoy makes a very reasonably priced organic tempeh that can be found in most supermarkets for around $4 to $4.50 per packet.
