Not only is this aromatic wonder quick and easy to make, it’s also VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE and full of goodness from the veggies. As a result of using Tempeh, this recipe is super HIGH IN PROTEIN.
The rice
I like to use either cooked brown rice or jasmine rice for this. The important thing is that it’s COLD and not freshly-cooked rice. For example, leftover cooked rice is perfect for making great Firecracker Rice.
Making the marinade for Thai Basil Tempeh
Firstly, whizz up loads of luscious, peppery Thai basil and fresh lemongrass. Next, add in the big umami player, for example soy sauce or tamari. A squeeze of lime juice brings all the flavours to life. Give your tempeh a nice little bath in this mixture and you’ll soon be on your way to vegan food paradise.
