Is Tempeh different than tofu

• While both are great plant-based solutions made from soybeans, tempeh uses a whole soybean product that provide different nutrition and textural elements than tofu.  Tempeh also is a bit chewier with a more distinct nutty/earthy flavor, whereas tofu is more neutral.

To make the tempeh in this tempeh bowls recipe, you simply start this recipe by marinating slices of tempeh in a mixture of maple syrup and soy sauce (or tamari if you prefer to eat Gluten Free) then fry in a pan.

This recipe calls for cauliflower, red onion, carrots and sweet potato but you can use what vegetables you have on hand.  Add some salt and garlic powder and roast away!
