Recently I went to a restaurant and tried a meal using tempeh and absolutely loved the flavor and texture. After going out and buying lots of it, I discovered that I have NO IDEA how to cook it! When I tried it, it tasted like burnt cardboard. Also, I am terrible at cooking tofu. It always comes out a sloppy mess.

I am a decent cook, but I cannot seem to get the hang of this! Any advice on how to cook tempeh, or tofu? - K. Y.

Savvy Vegetarian Advice:

Hi K. Y. Tempeh should first be steamed for 20 minutes (less if you cut it up), for food safety reasons,...
