Tempeh is clearly one of the least celebrated foods in our culture. Though with the healthy lifestyle fans and food industry movement towards organic and non-GMO we get more exposure to new food options, tempeh is still waiting its more popular spotlight.
Tempeh and Cabbage with Coconut Curry Sauce
But you don’t need to play this waiting game! Tempeh is sold in all regular food stores throughout the country. Very affordable and by a huge mile more nutrient-packed than other foods when it comes to a variety of nutrients it offers.
Boasting of fiber (48% of Daily Value per serving (DV)), protein (41% DV), vitamin B2 (31% DV), manganese (73% DV), copper (68% DV), phosphorus (41%), flavonoids, amino acids and many more!
Tempeh Combination with Vegetables and Ancient Grains
Fermented soy contains more bioactive peptides than non-fermented soy products. What does it mean for you?
It means that those active peptides block the action of some of the body’s destructive enzymes. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of soy peptides found in fermented soy foods can help protect the blood vessels from oxidative and inflammatory damage.
As you may know, inflammation is a beginning point of any disease in our body.
Tempeh Boasts Of Rich Texture
Tempeh can be boiled, fried and used in a variety of recipes in stews, soups, and grilled kebabs. We love to eat tempeh with different curries and sauces. It can be used as meat substitute.
One more benefit to mention for those who consume tempeh on the regular basis. Calcium in tempeh is readily bioavailable. That means that the body absorbs Calcium at a great rate than from any supplement. Pre- and menopausal women could hugely benefit from including tempeh in their diet regularly.

I like tempeh a lot – and a lot more than soy. I think the texture is a lot more pleasant. I didn’t even realize it had all these extra health benefits.

Good for you! You don’t need to know all the benefits, just eat it!
I’m still not sure what Tempeh is but with all those health benefits listed I would love to try this!
Monica,
The time has come to get an introduction to Tempeh. Any store would carry it. Smith’s, Publix, Albertson’s – check their section where Tofu is sold. They usually place tempeh right there next to tofu. If you cannot find it, ask customer service.
Okay that sounds yummy, I could be down for trying that!
Okay, this looks REALLY good. Totally making me hungry here, LOL!
Jennifer,
You can totally make it in your own kitchen. Ingredients are cheap. Just make sure you have then all in your pantry and fridge.

Cabbage is so easy to incorporate with other foods. And it tastes great with everything. I bet this two would be so delicious together!!

I am 100% in agreement with your statement. Cabbage cooks fast and adds all the anti-inflammation properties to our diet.

Try tempeh for a change. It really has a nice flavor and totally substitutes animal protein.
This is such an impressive dish and I think I’d have a lot of fun making it for the first time. Those flavors are sounding great!
I have never tried tempeh before. I had no idea what it was until this post. I do love flavorful cabbage though!

I love Asian curries, especially curries and this tempeh version sounds lovely. Especially since I am a vegetarian so this is perfect for me xx
YUM!!! I’ve never had a cabbage dish I didn’t like. This sounds amazing!
I like tempeh, but not sure about the curry. I might give this one a try. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m generally not a huge cabbage fan, but I can see where this combination would be interesting and worth trying out. I love trying new recipes so I just might attempt this!
Now this sounds like a really interesting idea for a curry I love the idea of using coconut in one I bet that is a really interesting flavour.

I went for it, i.e., combining tempeh with cabbage and adding a coconut curry. It really tastes heavenly. My family loved it. My kids who are picky loved it, too.
This looks soo yummy !! I love coconut curry and i secretly like cabbage too . Just dont tell my mom for all those years I tortured her 🙂
Jay,
You made me laugh!
I love cabbage openly! he he
Used to like it in a stirfy-like recipe my family used to cook. I could cook it for you!
I’ve never heard of tempah, which I know makes me sound a bit stupid. I’m not a fan of cabbage either, but love curry so I’m guessing this would persuade me otherwise.
Emma,
It’s just culture in us and the foods that we’ve been or are exposed to.
Try it out and cook with Tempeh. Check it out in your store, it’s sold everywhere!
You can fry it or try with any sauce.
Crumble it and throw in together with stirfry. Works wonders. It’ll be a protein-loaded dish!
