Tofu! I love tofu with an undying passion but many people are afraid of it or think it is gross 😢. But it is a beautiful healthy cheap food ❤ and I want everyone to love it
I made a bomb tempeh wrap today by slicing the tempeh into thin strips and sauteeing them in oil with some sliced mushrooms. Then after they were all golden brown on both sides, I poured in a sauce I made from a tablespoon of ssamjang, soy sauce, and a splash of rice vinegar and sesame oil. When they were nicely coated with the sauce, I loaded up a tortilla with the tempeh and mushrooms, along with some crispy lettuce and ranch dressing (trust me, it goes really well together.) Try it, you will love it! Zero bitterness detected.
Thank you Nisha for this incredible experience :) everyone at the Arizpe sanctuary had so much fun making the video and tasting your recipe. So happy our rescues got their 15 seconds of fame 💚 Keep up with your amazing videos!
Thanks for inviting me to this cooking challenge. It was fun to make and came out so tasty. You encouraged me to use tempeh more often. And definitely made a believer out of me!😆☺️💗
My mom has indonesian roots so I grew up eating tempeh dishes and I've always loved it! I always took it so personally when my Dutch classmates told me how disgusting (and smelly?) they found tempeh :') My favourite "traditional" tempeh dish is tempeh ketjap - super easy and delicious!
I ate tempeh for the first time last year and I'm 47. It's not at all smelly. It has a pleasant texture too. The taste is specifically tempeh. It's a new flavour if you didn't eat it before, but it's fairly mild. It's a lot worse the first time you're served sauerkraut.
Well I expect the dutch who had intermingled with us since almost forever should have a pallet strong enough by now to breez through our unique and strong flavor preferences. But maybe, just maybe, they are europeans being europeans
Tempeh doesn't smell much at all, at most like a brie cheese maybe? They can stomach raw caviar blue cheese and sauerkraut but they cross the line at beans?
I must be the odd one out because I LOVE the flavor of tempeh on its own. I just fry it up and eat it plain lol. BUT THESE RECIPES LOOK AMAZING. I'm going to try every single one. I'm pretty sure you're like, the best vegan cook on youtube honestly.
Yes, I just love Tempeh and never thought of it as bitter either! But these recipes are gorgeous and I’ll be trying them soon. I once made my own Tempeh with chickpeas instead of soya beans (I ordered the starter culture online) and it was so damn delicious that I’ve tried several ways of sourcing a store made chickpea Tempeh, because it was a bit time consuming when you live alone. Even phoned some suppliers 😂 Not available in my country, but hoping it will be soon! Thanks for a wonderful, fun and exciting video - always look forward to them, except I’d like them to be slightly slowed down a bit! ❤
Compliments to the editor! This was ensembled in a very entertaining way. Also I love to see and hear so many fans of the channel from all over the world!
I absolutely love this format it's pretty creative, not to mention looking at the reaction of the taste testers made it even more entertaining. Hope to see more videos like this in a future
The BBQ tempeh is SOO GOOD! I have made it multiple times. Honestly the best BBQ sauce i have every made. Perfectly balanced and super easy. Highly recommend.
LOL we eat mashed potatoes pretty frequently in my house. No kids. Just love em 😂 Soooo excited to try these!! I've had a hard time with tempeh but I know it's great for protein. Looking forward to trying it next grocery trip!
I don’t know what is wrong with people. Tempeh is not bitter. I love the taste even raw out of the pack. it has a beautiful, earthy, natural flavor. People are too used to artificial flavors that they think anything natural is “bitter” or gross
@@RainbowPlantLife I heard you say that! I’ll definitely skip it for these recipes to save some time 👏 thank you so much for all these delicious, cruelty free recipes.
@@keeganitreal Indonesian here. Fresh and good tempeh shouldn't taste bitter. It just have nutty flavor. Bitter tempeh means it is old or over fermented. Even most indonesian don't like to eat that. Here in indonesia, we only sell fresh tempeh just for one day. The seller won't sell them again in the next day, so everyday is always new batch of freshly made tempeh. I'm sad that store bought tempeh which taste terrible in western countries makes people hates tempeh. ☹️ Sorry for my english
I’m not vegan, but love trying new things and finding meat alternatives to incorporate into our normal diet. Also never had tempeh before. I made the tacos and, honest opinion, really really good! The tempeh has a mild nutty flavor and the other toppings are so flavorful. Will be making this again ❤
Nishaaaa! Thank you for cooking tempeh! I’m Indonesian and I never understand why non-Indonesians never liked tempeh coz it’s like a staple here I eat it every week. There is sooooo much more traditional tempeh recipes, and I hope you can try them! We have garlic, brined then fried tempeh (idk what these are called but they’re so good), tempe bacem, tempe mendoan, and what you have cooked, we called it tempe orek. Personally, I add tamarind and shaved brown sugar, and only add fried peanuts (and fried little anchovies for non vegans). They last a looong time in a jar in the tropics so they’re perfect for a quick breakfast or as a side. Love you videos!
I had a great time participating! You can tell that I am not a paid professional with my bad filming, lack of lights and messy kitchen. LOL! I just picked up some more tempe to remake the recipe. Thank you for the opportunity!
I had a cold this weekend and binge watched most of your videos, they are amazing! I am not vegan (yet) but I was diagnosed with alpha gal, a tick related illness that creates an allergy to mammal products, so I am learning about vegan cooking to round out my nutrition. After watching your videos, I am seriously considering going mostly vegan (I raise chickens and feel good eating their eggs). Thanks for the inspiration!!
this came in handy because i have two packs of tempeh in my fridge!! now I know what to do with them!! You should keep this as a series! it was so much fun to watch!
Thank you so much! I've really struggled with forcing myself to like tempeh. I've tried boiling, etc, but nothing helped. The crumbling technique with hot pan saute worked perfectly. I ended up mixing in a teriyaki sauce in the end, and serving it as a bowl, with rice, pickled veggies, and cilantro. My wife and kids devoured it! They've never eaten any of my tempeh dishes before...
I can see you in a culinary castle/restaurant/bed & breakfast resort, with beautiful gardens with rescued cows and farm animals roaming about. Your food is so great and I know people would travel to try your creations!!!
This was a very fun video to watch! And I definitely will be trying these recipes. Tempeh for me was definitely an acquired taste but after 27 years I am definitely a fan. In fact, I just found some unexpired tempeh in that back of my fridge and got excited!
This was such a fun video ! I am not a huge fan of temphe either and have been wanting to give it another try and this definitely inspired me! What a fun idea to have taste testers! I thought it was really fun to see home ooks make you recipes and testing for themselves to have their reaction in the video ! Can't wait to see more videos like these ! ♥️
Love it, you ARE the All American Girl for sure ❤🎉😊!!! Great video. I just found tempeh at a grocery store and bought some yesterday! Never tasted it, but read it is high in protein. So as the Buddha said, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Can't wait to try all these recipes! Thank you!
Girrrrrrl , you have taken your channel up to a WHOLE "Nuther" Level ! Wow , so fun to watch . Also, by showing other ppl make your recipes and comment on how good they are encourages others, like myself, to want to try them . Yay ! So Happy for You ! 💕👍👍👍👍👍👍💕
Nisha, this format is brilliant, I've never seen a cooking video with real reactions like this, you must do more of these! I've never eaten tempeh but now I want to make all 3 recipes, thank you
This is one of my most favorite videos you've made -- the tester reactions were the BEST!!!!! BTW: I do mine in the air fryer and loved hearing from a tester for the BBQ that they did it in the air fryer. It's a game changer!!
Let me just say that it’s very, very relaxing to watch your videos. Well done. I love to try new recipes and your channel is awesome in providing that + a comfort feeling. Similar to when you spend years without going to your hometown and then you go visit it* and everything hits you with nostalgia.
This totally deserved to get a lot more views. I often struggle to watch videos in one sitting and often get distracted. But I watched this whole thing nonstop because it was so interesting. Can’t wait to try these recipes.
I love the viewers/taste testers feedback. This is a great format to incorporate into your videos. Loved it. I too don’t care for tempeh, but I will definitely try one or two of the recipes and see if I too can be converted. Thanks for putting this one together.
I absolutely LOVED this format and the recipes I've tried so far were simple and DELICIOUS. I've made the tempeh taco's twice now and they're a huge hit with my non-vegan dad as well- I think he might even like them more than me! I had some leftover canned corn the first time I made them, so I charred it a bit in a frying pan and added that to the tacos as well- what a match made in heaven! The avocado crema also makes an incredible base for avocado toast or sandwiches. I've used the method for cutting tempeh in the kecap for other stir fries as well. I can't wait to try the bbq sandwhich!
I might make the tacos form my family. I’ve been wanting to try tempeh as I struggle with eating enough protein so this video was perfect. Thank you so much, I absolutely love your energy.
I love the idea behind this video! I never used to enjoy tempeh but have slowly begun to love it. I'm not vegan but lacto veg and your recipes have really made me excited to try new things for lunch (and for my kids). I do boil or steam the tempeh once before cooking it, because I don't always use bold flavours with it - sometimes we just leave it for salads or to snack on!
Love this format! I have used lime leaves and lemongrass in recipes, but never eaten them…they usually just perfume the dish but are removed (or pushed aside). I’ve never made anything with tempeh but you’ve persuaded me to try.
I will definitely try making your tempeh kicap with lesser sugar & add some lemon juice in it. I would also finely chop & stir in some baby spinach, arugula, green onions, cilantro or parsley before serving it. Trust me - this is one dish that blesses you with a huge myriad of flavours & it can never be wrong!
Begone the days of boiling/steaming slices of tempeh before vaguely crisping it up in a pan and slathering it in BBQ sauce! Dunno why I was always scared to skip the boiling/steaming, but the slices look so much more crispy and nice with your method. Can't wait to try these out, so happy to see new recipes using ingredients that deserve more love.
I tried the BBQ tempeh last night, and it is absolutely going in my regular rotation. I made some vinegar based slaw, and it made amazing BBQ sandwiches. I can't wait to try the tacos now!
This is by far my favorite episode you've ever done! The recipes are quick, simple and delicious. Your commentary on the taste tester videos is so hilarious - I would watch a video of you just doing that!
This is a great idea! I have issues with texture so I'm not sure that I would try any of these recipes, but I'm very encouraged by the enthusiastic responses from the testers. 😊👍🏾
I had bought tempeh a couple of months or maybe a year back and had to throw the whole thing out as I hated and didn’t know what to do! Made the tempeh tacos today and absolutely loved it! The crispy tempeh with creamy sauce, sour and sweet pickles and added some cumber on top for extra freshness and I am converted to a tempeh lover! Thank you so much!
Nisha! My 12 year old daughter was adamant about not consuming anything vegan until sweetly encouraged her to try the barbecued tempeh with tomatoes, red cabbage vegan mayo and tortilla. With her first, second and third bite, she said, t”his is really really good!!! She asked for another and was finally full. Thank you so much for your delicious recipes!!!
I can't believe I missed this when you posted it! I love tempeh but I've only ever ordered it as take-out and have never tried to prepare it myself and have been wanting to give it a go so this is perfect! I'm so excited to try these :D
I made the tempeh tacos and I was pleasantly surprised! I want to make these for my vegan friends who are actually the ones that made me see the light… and I have been vegan for 3-1/2 years now!! ❤
As someone who loves tempeh it's so interesting to hear that people don't like the bitterness of tempeh. I always eat it uncooked when I'm preparing it before marinating because it's sooo good. Recipes look great tho :)
In love with these! I used to eat lots of tempeh decades ago when I lived in Amsterdam, all thanks to the Indonesian immigrants who brought their gorgeous food culture and normalised the availability of tempeh in supermarkets way before it became a trendy food.
this video was super cool and unique! loved the collab with viewers and getting their live reactions. whoever did your video editing also did an excellent job!
These look amazing and I hope you make this a series of fans making your dishes. So cool. Also, never stop giggle at ketchup farts because then, we will all have to admit we are growing up and that not needed. LOL.
i just discovered your channel tonight after searching for vegan recipes, and i’m obsessed with your cooking style and personality! subscribed & binging on your videos!! ❤
I just tried the tacos last night and they were amazing! I’m just transitioning to vegan and this was the first meal I made. Thank you for the wonderful recipe and I can’t wait to try more from you!❤
Great idea and well executed! You made it look effortless even though I’m sure a mountain or work went into this video! Loved seeing all the reactions and I’m convinced enough to give tempeh another try 😊
From what I have seen in Indonesia, the tempeh is almost always marinated before cooking. So for the tacos, may I suggest crumble the tempeh into a bowl, mix with your soy and lime juice. Possibly add a bit of cumin or coriander powder. A little grated carrot in the mix helps to counteract the bitterness. Let it marinade while you prepare the pickles and other ingredients. Drain any excess liquid from the tempeh while the pan heats up. Carry on as you did. The soy sauce or tamari will help with carmelization, adding color and a greater depth of flavor. I love your channel. You are fun and completely adorable.
Hey Nisha, I am so glad that you included a recipe for barbecue sauce. I was looking for one the other day because I wanted to make a barbecue tempeh sub. I did find one that was sugarless and it was okay but I will try your recipe to use with the seasoned tempeh I found, soon. I enjoy making your recipes because they have so much flavor. I have to admit that I don't like the recipes that have a lot of ingredients because I can't find some of the ingredients locally. I try to do the ones that I have ingredients in my pantry.
The first time I had tempeh I just sliced it and cooked it a bit on the pan with olive oil on both sides (just not to stick, really). I think it was smoked tempeh that I had bought and it was just the most delicious thing I tasted. I ate what I had cooked and couldn't help myself, I had to go and make the rest. Unfortunately tempeh is very expensive where I live, so it's not something I can buy often. But it is a treat ! I love these ideas, they all look great!
I love this recipe so much! I am new to plant-based stuff, and my mom turned me onto Tempeh, then sent me your channel. This recipe just makes it better, but I actually really like it raw and unseasoned as well 😊.
Such a fun video but I don't understand how anyone could not like Tempeh it's delicious. I love the nutty flavor that it gives off I'll just cook it up In a frying Pan season salt, pepper, a little bit of garlic powder. I wish more restaurants would use it.
I went out yesterday and bought the ingredients for the tacos. I just got finished eating three lol absolutely delicious like eating in a upscale Vegan Restaurant except in my dining room. I’m really blown away with how good these are, thank you so much for sharing I cannot wait to try these on family and friends 😊
I have tried the kecap and the bbq tempeh ... WOW! Loved them and i have not been much of a fan of tempeh at all. Thanks so much for tackling this and working hard to develop such yummy recipes!
Pretty soon you will be over a million subscribers! A testament to the high quality of your videos, and the value that you are sharing with others! I am so happy for you!
Update: I can now confirm that these tacos are delicious! The day after I made them, I went back to the store for more tempeh so I could have them two days in a row. They’re that good! And pickled shallots and jalapeños are my new favorite thing. Thank you for this recipe and video! I would not have tried this were it not for the others who didn’t like tempeh. Yum!
So excited to try some of your recipes. My husband. Was diagnosed with prostate cancer and we have cut out most meats and sugar. But it has been hard try to find good tasting recipes. I need all the help I can get!
Never had tempeh since going vegan, but I'm definitely giving it a shot with some of these recipes. The kecap recipe in particular looks great for meal prep. Thank you for putting this all together!
Tempeh is legit incredible, I've been making the Vegan with a Vengeance fennel tempeh crumbles recipe for like 15 years, one of my favorite meals and it goes with so many things - breakfast with toast, add it to pasta, etc. Thanks for the new recipes!
I love the subscriber submissions! Great concept and a really great video. Your recipes are the foundation of our weekly rotation. I'm going to try the tacos and probably add those too
We had so much fun making this video with our very own RPL community! Which food should we tackle next in this series?
Collard greens please
Gravy for biscuits or something with mushrooms
Marmite? It's a good source of B vitamins but it is absolutely rancid on toast
Kidney beans :/
Tofu! I love tofu with an undying passion but many people are afraid of it or think it is gross 😢. But it is a beautiful healthy cheap food ❤ and I want everyone to love it
I hate watching myself on camera, but it was cool to be in this video!
Thanks so much for joining our video, Cameron!
I just found this video. I can’t stand tempeh. Thanks for participating because I’m loving these recipes.
I hope this becomes a regular series! It would be super helpful to tackle 'intimidating' foods from multiple different angles. :)
Yes! So agree!!
I was one of the taste testers for the kecap I’ve already made it again- it’s a go to in our house!! Cant wait to try the tacos next!!
That’s so cool, Joanna! Thanks for being a part of our video and I’m thrilled you love the tempeh kecap!
That dish was the one that converted me when I tried and cooked it in Bali. It’s all in the crispness. Looking forward to trying all of these.
I've never seen this done in a cooking channel before. So fun to watch.
I’m so glad you enjoyed watching the video, Jenny!

Hi Amy how are you doing ?

A good tip I learned with tempeh is to steam it for 15 min before cooking it. Helps a lot with the bitterness. Now it’s time to try these recipes 😋

Love this format! I have used lime leaves and lemongrass in recipes, but never eaten them…they usually just perfume the dish but are removed (or pushed aside). I’ve never made anything with tempeh but you’ve persuaded me to try.
I will definitely try making your tempeh kicap with lesser sugar & add some lemon juice in it. I would also finely chop & stir in some baby spinach, arugula, green onions, cilantro or parsley before serving it. Trust me - this is one dish that blesses you with a huge myriad of flavours & it can never be wrong!
Begone the days of boiling/steaming slices of tempeh before vaguely crisping it up in a pan and slathering it in BBQ sauce! Dunno why I was always scared to skip the boiling/steaming, but the slices look so much more crispy and nice with your method. Can't wait to try these out, so happy to see new recipes using ingredients that deserve more love.
I tried the BBQ tempeh last night, and it is absolutely going in my regular rotation. I made some vinegar based slaw, and it made amazing BBQ sandwiches. I can't wait to try the tacos now!
I wasn't able to submit on time because of a family issue, but I did make those bbq sandwiches and they were sooooo yum. That bbq sauce is a winner
This is by far my favorite episode you've ever done! The recipes are quick, simple and delicious. Your commentary on the taste tester videos is so hilarious - I would watch a video of you just doing that!
Oh Nisha these all look and sound awesome. I'm going to try and make them all. Thank you. 😊
Hi Susan how are you doing?
This is a great idea! I have issues with texture so I'm not sure that I would try any of these recipes, but I'm very encouraged by the enthusiastic responses from the testers. 😊👍🏾
I had bought tempeh a couple of months or maybe a year back and had to throw the whole thing out as I hated and didn’t know what to do!
Made the tempeh tacos today and absolutely loved it! The crispy tempeh with creamy sauce, sour and sweet pickles and added some cumber on top for extra freshness and I am converted to a tempeh lover! Thank you so much!
I love this concept! And you've given me more tempeh recipes to try, especially with all the taste tester approvals! Awesome! Great Job!
Nisha! My 12 year old daughter was adamant about not consuming anything vegan until sweetly encouraged her to try the barbecued tempeh with tomatoes, red cabbage vegan mayo and tortilla. With her first, second and third bite, she said, t”his is really really good!!! She asked for another and was finally full. Thank you so much for your delicious recipes!!!
I loved the taste testers! This was great
I can't believe I missed this when you posted it! I love tempeh but I've only ever ordered it as take-out and have never tried to prepare it myself and have been wanting to give it a go so this is perfect! I'm so excited to try these :D
This is such a cool and different video and was so fun to watch! Definitely gonna try those recipes they look AMAZING!!
I’m so thrilled to hear that, Olivia 🥳 I hope you will love the recipes!
This is sooo cool! Wow! I loved this format, want to be a recipe taster next! I cook a lot of your recipes and I love your energy 😊
love this new video concept Nisha! and its so amazing that you're featuring a traditional Indonesian tempeh dish
I made the tempeh tacos and I was pleasantly surprised! I want to make these for my vegan friends who are actually the ones that made me see the light… and I have been vegan for 3-1/2 years now!! ❤
Great to see an Indonesian recipe - people in the states tend to forget that tempeh is actually an Indonesian food
As someone who loves tempeh it's so interesting to hear that people don't like the bitterness of tempeh. I always eat it uncooked when I'm preparing it before marinating because it's sooo good. Recipes look great tho :)
Hi Beth how are you doing?
This was so great! Loved this video. Thank you!! 💕🤗
In love with these! I used to eat lots of tempeh decades ago when I lived in Amsterdam, all thanks to the Indonesian immigrants who brought their gorgeous food culture and normalised the availability of tempeh in supermarkets way before it became a trendy food.
Loved the feedback from viewers part!! I feel like no other chef UA-camr has done this
this video was super cool and unique! loved the collab with viewers and getting their live reactions. whoever did your video editing also did an excellent job!
These look amazing and I hope you make this a series of fans making your dishes. So cool. Also, never stop giggle at ketchup farts because then, we will all have to admit we are growing up and that not needed. LOL.
Wow reviews from Italy and Tennessee? We truly are living in the 21st century!
Tempeh is not bitter if you steam it for 5 to 8 minutes. After steaming, use in your favorite recipes.
7:27 they are Kiwi! Haha love the look of these… I don’t usually like tempeh either so will have to try! Your channel is awesome, from New Zealand ❤
Haha whoops 😬 I love both kiwi and Aussie accents so either would excite me 😂
i just discovered your channel tonight after searching for vegan recipes, and i’m obsessed with your cooking style and personality! subscribed & binging on your videos!! ❤
I just tried the tacos last night and they were amazing! I’m just transitioning to vegan and this was the first meal I made. Thank you for the wonderful recipe and I can’t wait to try more from you!❤
Great idea and well executed! You made it look effortless even though I’m sure a mountain or work went into this video! Loved seeing all the reactions and I’m convinced enough to give tempeh another try 😊
I’ve never tried tempeh before but your recipes NEVER disappoint so I can’t wait to try these out! 🙌🏾
From what I have seen in Indonesia, the tempeh is almost always marinated before cooking. So for the tacos, may I suggest crumble the tempeh into a bowl, mix with your soy and lime juice. Possibly add a bit of cumin or coriander powder. A little grated carrot in the mix helps to counteract the bitterness. Let it marinade while you prepare the pickles and other ingredients. Drain any excess liquid from the tempeh while the pan heats up. Carry on as you did. The soy sauce or tamari will help with carmelization, adding color and a greater depth of flavor. I love your channel. You are fun and completely adorable.
Hey Nisha, I am so glad that you included a recipe for barbecue sauce. I was looking for one the other day because I wanted to make a barbecue tempeh sub. I did find one that was sugarless and it was okay but I will try your recipe to use with the seasoned tempeh I found, soon. I enjoy making your recipes because they have so much flavor. I have to admit that I don't like the recipes that have a lot of ingredients because I can't find some of the ingredients locally. I try to do the ones that I have
ingredients in my pantry.
The first time I had tempeh I just sliced it and cooked it a bit on the pan with olive oil on both sides (just not to stick, really). I think it was smoked tempeh that I had bought and it was just the most delicious thing I tasted. I ate what I had cooked and couldn't help myself, I had to go and make the rest.
Unfortunately tempeh is very expensive where I live, so it's not something I can buy often. But it is a treat ! I love these ideas, they all look great!
If you really like it, you may consider looking up how to make it at home. It can be made with lots of kinds of legumes, not just soy beans
@@supernova622 I'll look into that, thank you!
Tempe is such a staple in Indonesian cuisine. It's interesting to see different ways to cook it❤
I love this recipe so much! I am new to plant-based stuff, and my mom turned me onto Tempeh, then sent me your channel. This recipe just makes it better, but I actually really like it raw and unseasoned as well 😊.
Such a fun video but I don't understand how anyone could not like Tempeh it's delicious. I love the nutty flavor that it gives off
I'll just cook it up In a frying Pan season salt, pepper, a little bit of garlic powder. I wish more restaurants would use it.
I went out yesterday and bought the ingredients for the tacos. I just got finished eating three lol absolutely delicious like eating in a upscale Vegan Restaurant except in my dining room. I’m really blown away with how good these are, thank you so much for sharing I cannot wait to try these on family and friends 😊
I’m so excited to try these recipes because I literally just had a tempeh fail. 😂 Thank you, love. What a clever idea to show people taste testing!
I have tried the kecap and the bbq tempeh ... WOW! Loved them and i have not been much of a fan of tempeh at all. Thanks so much for tackling this and working hard to develop such yummy recipes!
Pretty soon you will be over a million subscribers! A testament to the high quality of your videos, and the value that you are sharing with others! I am so happy for you!
It was nice to see so many plant eaters. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you so very much for conveniently link your recipes for easy access!!! So thoughtful of you!
What a great video idea! This was such much fun to watch and I’m a tempeh skeptic who is now excited to try tempeh again. C’mon tacos!
Haha mission accomplished! I’m excited for you to try tempeh!
Update: I can now confirm that these tacos are delicious! The day after I made them, I went back to the store for more tempeh so I could have them two days in a row. They’re that good! And pickled shallots and jalapeños are my new favorite thing. Thank you for this recipe and video! I would not have tried this were it not for the others who didn’t like tempeh. Yum!
I really enjoyed watching this, Loved this video and all your great commentary! What a great way to include your followers!
boiling the tempeh before cooking helps with the bitterness!
Hi Hannah how are you doing?
I like Tempeh.. I recently found black Bean Tempeh here in Austria, and it is my new favorite!
This is great content! I love your vids, but this is a really great idea that I have not seen from other YT vegan chiefs. Well done!
I’m so glad you loved this video :) thank you ☺️
So excited to try some of your recipes. My husband. Was diagnosed with prostate cancer and we have cut out most meats and sugar. But it has been hard try to find good tasting recipes. I need all the help I can get!
Never had tempeh since going vegan, but I'm definitely giving it a shot with some of these recipes. The kecap recipe in particular looks great for meal prep. Thank you for putting this all together!
Nisha, these tempeh recipes are life savers! You look gorgeous in that black top as well!
ohhhhh loved this new format with the taste testers!!! I am definitely going to try these tempeh recipes 🙂 ... thank your for these recipes!!!!
Tempeh is legit incredible, I've been making the Vegan with a Vengeance fennel tempeh crumbles recipe for like 15 years, one of my favorite meals and it goes with so many things - breakfast with toast, add it to pasta, etc. Thanks for the new recipes!
I love the subscriber submissions! Great concept and a really great video. Your recipes are the foundation of our weekly rotation. I'm going to try the tacos and probably add those too
