Our tempeh bacon arrives fully cooked, so frying is only about texture and colour. Five minutes in the pan or eight in the air fryer, plus vegan ways to use the slices through the week.

This Smoky Sticky BBQ Tempeh is bold, savoury, and packed with rich barbecue flavour. Crisp on the outside and tender in the middle5

This dish is usually cooked with fiery sambal paste, but for my mild sambal I blended chillies and tomatoes. A traditional food from Java made from fermented soya beans, tempeh is a good complement for the aubergine, the soft aubergine works well with the chunky, nutty texture of the tempeh. This is a good option for anyone looking for something healthy, as tempeh contains no cholesterol, and it is a great ingredient for stir-fries and curries.
