Flash fried Tempeh dippers with ginger satay
Did you know tempeh can make for the most perfect entertainer’s snack?
Mini sliders (who doesn’t love a mini burger because mini = you get to eat triple without judgement) but probably one of my favourite and most simple is tempeh threaded onto mini skewers served with a ginger zing satay sauce. Tofu also works perfectly for this dish too. So feel free to use that. I like to mix it up.
What’s great about this filling little tempeh snack is that you get texture from the tempeh and that is complimented by lashings of sweet spicy and smooth flavours from the satay sauce. What more could you want?
I make these all the time when we have guests over and somehow the footy comes on. I’ll usually nip off to the kitchen and make a bunch of snacks because missing 5 – 10 mins of football has no impact on the value of my life but going without snacks whilst watching the football most certainly does!
if you love this tempeh recipe let me know. I’m keen to hear from you all, who prefers tempeh and who prefers tofu it’s a tough call for me. I’d probably swing more towards tofu but at times I really go through tempeh phases.
Add all sauce ingredients (except the almonds) into a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds or until smooth.
Dice tempeh into cubes and thread on to pre-soaked skewers ( 3 pieces to a skewer) and flash fry in a pan with a little oil for about 5 mins each side. If doing bit-sized pieces, fry the tempeh first before poking toothpicks into individual portions. Store left over sauce in an air-tight jar and use on stir-fry's and just about anything else!
