Crispy Tempeh Recipe
This crispy tempeh can be used as a snack, side dish or main meal. There is nothing more satisfying than crispy tempeh topped on fragrant rice. Tempeh is a fermented soy product similar to tofu. Some consider it healthier that tofu because it's a whole food, it is fermented, and it contains more protein and fiber.
