Tempeh is best sliced thin (1/8”) and cooked separately. Then introduced to the veggies. Cubed tempeh isn’t the best way to introduce it if you aren’t familiar with cooking with it!
Love this recipe!
We tried this Monday night as a family and it did not go well at all. We ended up eating chicken caesar salad for dinner
