The post Tempeh vs. Tofu: Comparing Plant-Based Proteins appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Tempeh is an Indonesian food created using a natural fermentation process that binds cooked soybeans into dense cakes. The fermentation gives tempeh a savory, nutty flavor and also enhances digestibility. Tofu, on the other hand, is a staple in East Asian cuisines and is prepared by coagulating soy milk and pressing the curds into blocks. This process gives the tofu a neutral taste and spongy texture that serves as a great blank canvas for other flavors.
Tempeh’s hearty texture and earthy taste make it an ideal substitute for meat in dishes that require grilling or stir-frying. Alternatively, tofu’s relative lack of flavor and range of available textures allow for more versatility. For example, silken tofu can be used to add a creamy quality to non-dairy desserts, while the firm variety works best in savory dishes.
Nutritionally speaking, tempeh comes out on top with a higher protein content, more fiber, and a healthy dose of probiotics from the fermentation. Tofu is the lighter of the two with a lower calorie count, though it does contain more calcium. Both are excellent sources of essential amino acids, otherwise known as the building blocks of protein.

]]>Skewers are one of the easiest things you can make with tempeh and Thomas made these ones extra delicious by adding homemade peanut sesame sauce to the mix. He recommends serving them with rice or quinoa and sautéed greens.
If you’ve never tried vegan meatballs before, now’s the time! These ones were made with protein-rich tempeh, but the secret of their delicious taste is actually the homemade teriyaki sauce.
By this point, you’ve already learned that your tempeh will be as delicious as the sauce you serve it with. Thomas opted for creamy mushroom coconut sauce this time around, taking his one-skillet sautéed tempeh to the next level.
Thomas’ blog is filled with recipes that pay homage to Asian cuisine. This juicy okara tempeh served with spicy and aromatic Chinese-inspired sauce is case in point.

]]>Cucumbers are a super healthy and hydrating vegetable full of nutrients, but if we’re being honest, they’re a little bland on their own. In this recipe, the cucumbers act as a refreshing backdrop to some flavorful seasonal herbs, and fresh feta cheese offers a tangy, salty bite. We love it as a snack or side dish to serve at any summer barbeque.
While it’s probably not 100% accurate to call this milkshake “healthy,” it’s definitely a less-processed option to satisfy any craving for something cold and sweet. Coconut milk ice cubes act as a thick and creamy base and fresh strawberries add a deliciously sweet flavor.
If you’re in need of a plant-based offering for your next cookout, look no further. Tempeh smothered in tangy barbeque sauce provides the perfect burger substitute while avocado and a sweet and spicy slaw cover all of the flavor bases.

]]>Tempeh’s natural flavor is a bit blah, so you’ll definitely want to add a lot of flavor to it so that it can taste good. We recommend using soy sauce, maple syrup, sea salt, and spices like smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne.
And if you’re only going to use one flavoring ingredient (although please don’t do that), there is one you absolutely can’t miss: liquid smoke. It’s a liquid used for flavoring food that serves as a substitute for cooking with wood smoke, and it can make tempeh taste just like bacon.
For the maximum flavor, you’ll want to marinate your tempeh in a marinade for 10 to 15 minutes.
To get your tempeh nice and crispy instead of floppy and soggy, we recommend baking it on high heat, around 400 degrees F being ideal.

]]>Chinese BBQ ribs are one of Libutti’s signature recipes, and they simply wouldn’t be the same without tempeh. You’ll also need a long list of spices, teriyaki sauce, and white miso to make them, and you can serve them with rice, cauliflower, broccoli, noodles, and everything else your heart desires.
After mastering the previous recipe, it’s time to try Libutti’s second take on plant-based ribs made with tempeh. In addition to all the ingredients used to give these ribs their spicy flavor, you’ll also use ripe peaches to give them a tinge of sweetness.
Libutti enjoys combining tempeh with other foods, and mixing it with eggplant proved to be a match made in heaven. In addition to the two main ingredients, this recipe only calls for the use of cooking oil, rice, and hoisin sauce if you want to make things more interesting.
