Sesame Tempeh Bowl

Very good ! Next time, I'll cook the sauce apart

sooo good :D I used a mix of tahini and peanut butter as a substitute for the sesame paste and peas as a cheaper alternative for edamame

Mmm sounds lovely, Anchal, thanks fro the ideas! 🥰

loved this one! we couldn’t find the sesame paste it calls for at our grocery store so we substituted it for peanut butter - it was delicious! can’t wait to try it with the sesame paste one day!

So glad you loved it, Lo! Peanut butter is a great substitute. In case it helps, we often find Asian sesame paste in the international aisle of our local grocery store, or smaller international markets 🤗

Super tasty, easy to put together, good amount of protein. Slight caveat: portion size is small for our liking. We'll 1.5 or twice the amount next time

Oh my gosh, this was such a hit! I adore edamame and tenderstem broccoli regardless but the sauce was just exceptional. The star of the show!!

Delicious, the sauce is the key of this dish, i think it’s very customisable with every kind of veggies or protein!

Super bon et original. Un plat qui change avec beaucoup de protéines pour plaire aux grincheux. Et en plus relativement simple à faire. Je n'utilise pas de tempeh mais les pois chiches remplacent très bien. Je n'ai pas de sauce de haricots, j'ai sauté l'étape ou mis du tahini. Ça marche très bien comme ça. Les brocolinis ont été remplacés par des brocolis et l'edamame par des petits pois (on fait avec ce qu'on a) A refaire encore et encore

This will be my go-to tempeh recipe from now on!

One of my favorite recipes on the app! Easy and delicious ✨

Omg ! Talk about a delicious and very healthy meal. Oh and super easy too.

This was seriously tasty. I’ve tried it with tempeh and also with tofu. Both were amazing. The sauce is really rich and creamy. My kids loved it too!

Delicious! Used 3 red bell peppers instead of broccoli and used tahini instead of the asian sesamolie spread.

This was truly delicious!

Tasty but not my favourite PUL recipe so far. But still good!

Turned out great! I didn’t have peeled edamame so used sliced mushrooms instead. Still turned out awesome

The tempeh very yummy, kinda Chinese flavor. Super yummy..

Tasty and not very complicated

I loved this one! I struggled finding recipes where I actually liked tempeh, but the sauce in this recipe is perfect for it. And the combination of flavors between the sauce, the lime and the cilantro is just on point. My girlfriend loved it as well. I will definitely make this again!

Woop woop! So happy to hear, Morganna 🤗

Nice dish! very filling and healthy, high in protein too! Really like the choice of tender stem broccoli. We used tahini instead of asian sesame paste and it was delicious

Hey Laura, so happy to hear that the sesame tempeh bowl was enjoyed 🫶

Really enjoyed this! Added garlic to the sauce and roasted the broccoli instead. This will be a repeat meal for us!

Loved this!

Is smoked tofu a possible replacement for tempeh in that recipe?

PUL Team - Sept. 9, 2024, 3 p.m.

Hey Katarzyna, the texture will be slightly softer, and the smoky flavour of the tofu will add a different twist to the recipe, but you can use it if you'd like 🤗

Not sure if I did it wrong but the sauce turned out really gluey and thick and super salty. I like the idea of the meal though. I might try it with a different sauce

Me too. I will try less corn starch next time. I think this is what it makes it too thick

PUL Team - Sept. 7, 2024, 10:53 a.m.

Thanks for your feedback AK and LH, we've dropped the amount of cornstarch so we hope this helps. AK, in case it helps, we use a sodium-reduced soy sauce so it isn't as salty as regular soy sauce. Thanks for sharing your experience - it helps us improve our recipes. We hope you enjoy this one if you give it another go :)

What a delicious easy weeknight meals. I really like the sesame paste, what a discovery :-) I added shredded ginger to the sauce

Quick, easy and very tasty! The lime juice is essential.
