Recipes with Tempeh
4 recipes
There are 4 recipes here that use Tempeh, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Tempeh with Green Chili at 20 minutes; the longest, Sweet Braised Tofu and Tempeh, takes 60. 2 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 4 are vegetarian. 1 have no chili at all, so they work for children. 1 are properly spicy.
Tempeh turns up most often alongside Palm sugar, Indonesian bay leaf, Coriander seed and Red chili — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
Sweet Crisp Tempeh
Sweet, dry, and keeps for three days. The cheapest rice companion there is.

Tempeh with Green Chili
The fresh heat of green chili, not the sharp kind. The tempeh stays tender, never fried dry.

Sweet Braised Tofu and Tempeh
Slow-braised in palm sugar until it soaks through, then briefly fried.

Half-Fried Battered Tempeh
Deliberately not fried crisp — mendoan is meant to stay floppy. Frying it crunchy makes it a different dish entirely.
