FAQ
What are the main ingredients and what do they offer?
Tempeh provides protein and probiotics from fermentation; broccoli adds fiber and polyphenols; the tahini dressing contributes creaminess and healthy fats.
Is tempeh gluten-free?
Tempeh made from soy is naturally gluten-free, but check labels for added ingredients and use gluten-free tamari if needed.
How spicy is the tahini dressing?
The dressing is mild. You can add chili flakes or a touch of hot sauce if you want more heat.
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate within 2 hours in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days; reheat gently.
Can I adapt this bowl if I have gluten intolerance?
Yes—use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure all ingredients are gluten-free.
Is this high in protein?
Tempeh boosts the protein amount, so the bowl provides a solid plant-based protein portion; exact totals depend on portion size.
Will this help my gut?
The fiber from broccoli and plant-based protein supports gut health; fermented tempeh may add beneficial microbes, though effects vary.
Can I swap vegetables?
Yes—swap broccoli for other greens or vegetables you enjoy to keep fiber variety.
Can I meal-prep this bowl?
Yes: cook tempeh and broccoli ahead, store separately, and combine with dressing when ready to eat.
