The basics of Tempeh

Many people are afraid of Tempeh because, like many protein replacements, it looks strange.  Do not be afraid!  For those of you who don't know what tempeh is but are familiar with tofu, consider tempeh a rougher version of tofu.  Tempeh is made from rough chopped soy beans (and sometimes other grains) that are fermented and formed into a high protein bar.  It can be found in most grocery stores or made at home (be warned, the fermenting process can be rather stinky which is why I HIGHLY recommend buying pre-made).
Use tempeh like any other meat substitute.
