Tempeh is one of the most popular meat substitutes and it’s made from soybeans, just like tofu. Unfortunately, it rarely gets as much attention, but Valerie Libutti is here to change that. She’s constantly sharing tempeh recipes on her food blog Vegan Travel Eats, and here are some of her very best.
Chinese BBQ Ribs
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.
Peach BBQ Tempeh Ribs
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.
Hoisin Tempeh & Eggplant
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.
