About
Tempeh is an excellent source of calcium and phytosterols which makes this a superfood meal. Tempeh must be marinated or poached; it absorbs a lot of liquid, so it is best that it be fully hydrated before grilling or adding to a dish.
Yield: 4 servings

| Tempeh | 1 pkg | |
| Vegetable broth, unsalted | 2 cups | |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp | |
