How to eat tempeh, I'm curious?

I am a vegan and I tend to avoid soy products like they're a contagious disease that'll kill me, LOL.

I do very occasionally have tofu if it's already in a food I'm going to eat but nothing regular.

BUt my vegan role model (Tonya Kay) has convinced me through her website that maybe it's not a bad idea to try some.

So, my question is how do I cook it (do I even have too?) and what do I eat it with?

Thanks a bunch!!

Here you go.

The site has more than just this.How to eat tempeh, I'm curious?
Tempeh is a far better soy product for you than tofu because it is a fermented soy product. My favorite Tempeh recipe is from the book Vegan with a Vengeance. Someone posted it here- Spicy Tempeh and Broccoli Rabe With Rotelli http://www.recipezaar.com/Spicy-Tempeh-a…



It's good with or without the veggies, depending on how healthy you feel like being that day and what you have in the fridge. It's also easy to mess with. You can vary the ingredients as you feel necessary.



Another good way to eat Tempeh is as a substitute for Bacon. You can buy it packaged already like that or make it yourself with a recipe like this: http://www.tempeh.info/recipes/recipes.p…



I also often add the raw tempeh to my avocado roll sushi. Basically, sushi rice with brown rice vinegar added to it, nori sheet, avocado, tempeh, and toasted sesame seeds rolled up into a roll. Here's a recipe online but I have never tried this particular one: http://www.thesoyfoodscouncil.com/kidsre…



Hope that helps! Tempeh is one of my favorites.
