HEALTH TIP Why tempeh over tofu? It’s a less processed soy product, the fermentation process makes it easier to digest and it contains live probiotics that are good for ya gut.

Ingredients

TEMPEH SKEWERS

  • 1 Pack soy marinated tempeh or the plain block-cubed, i used Tiba Tempeh
  • 1.5 tbsp Smooth peanut butter, i used manilife
  • ½ tbsp Red or brown miso
  • ½ tsp Tamari or coconut aminos (only if using plain tempeh)
  • ½ tsp Garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp Ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp Maple syrup

THAI SLAW

  • 2 Medium carrots, thinly sliced or grated
  • 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ½ Red pepper, thinly sliced
  • ½ Yellow pepper, thinly sliced
  • 4 Spring onions, thinly sliced
  • Handful of freshly cooked edame beans or use tinned.
  • Handful of chopped roasted peanuts

SLAW DRESSING

  • 4 tbsp Coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp Smooth peanut butter
  • 1 tsp Tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp Lime juice
  • ¼ tsp Garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp Ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp Fresh coriander

Instructions

  • Crack on with the tempeh. Bung tempeh pieces into a bowl. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour on top. Stir till the pieces are nicely coated.
  • Now for the gentle bit.. tempeh has a tendency to break apart when skewering so try to do it delicately, if you’d prefer to miss this step bung the tempeh pieces onto a baking tray and grill in the oven till nicely brown and caramelised.
  • Put all the Thai veg into a bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour onto the veg. Toss to coat. Its best to dress the slaw when your just about to eat it.
  • Whack the slaw onto a plate, top with skewers and a sprinkling of chopped coriander and roasted peanuts.
