Thai Tempeh Peanut Salad

Tempeh can still be difficult to find in the UK depending on where you are located, so I sometimes make my own.

Tempeh only stays fresh for 2-3 days refrigerated once cultivated so be sure to freeze to store bigger batches for longer.

Want to make your own tempeh?

You just need some soy beans, a spoonful of tempeh starter, and a warm spot in your house. It's also easy to create with any other beans such as black beans for a soy-free alternative.
