FAQ

What is tempeh and why might it support gut health?
Tempeh is a fermented soy product that provides protein. Fermentation introduces microorganisms and enzymes that some people find gentler on digestion; the fiber from radish and vegetables also supports gut health.
Is this dish vegan/vegetarian and what allergens are present?
Yes, it's plant-based. It contains soy (tempeh), peanuts, and sesame. Check the ingredients if you have allergies.
How should I store leftovers and how long will they last?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. If possible, keep tempeh and toppings separate and reheat gently.
Can I meal-prep this? How should I assemble it for the week?
Yes. Cook the base, tempeh, and toppings in advance; store them in separate containers and assemble bowls the day you eat them or portion them out.
What are the main nutrients or benefits of the dish?
Provides plant protein from tempeh, fiber from radish and vegetables, and healthy fats from peanuts and sesame; also supplies minerals like iron and magnesium.
I have peanut or sesame allergies—what can I substitute?
Use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin for crunch and omit sesame; substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter as needed.
Can I adapt this for gluten-free or other dietary needs?
Tempeh is typically gluten-free—check labels. Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce. If avoiding soy, swap tempeh for chickpeas or roasted vegetables.
How can I adjust flavor or heat?
Add chili, jalapeño, or Sriracha to the sauce, or adjust the amount of sauce to taste.
Is tempeh safe during pregnancy or for people with a weakened immune system?
For most people, tempeh is safe if you have no soy allergy. If you have specific health concerns, consult a clinician.
