Zora’s Tempeh Recipe

Ever since I discovered SpiceBox Organics makes their own organic tempeh, I decided to get really experimental with this amazing fermented block. I came up with this amazing recipe for tempeh and now I always have a continual supply in my fridge to pop in my mouth as a snack or top on a salad when I am in a rush. It is so simple to assemble and doubly easy to cook. You can adjust the recipe to make it more or less peppery or add chili instead of black pepper for more of a kick.

Tempeh is a fermented soybean product that contains cancer fighting compounds known as isoflavones. The antioxidant properties in tempeh reduces LDL (bad cholesterol), keeps bones dense and strong and helps menopausal women deal with hot flashes and night sweats. It’s no accident that the Japanese, who eat a lot of fermented soy products, have one of the longest lifespans on the planet.
