Tofu, Seitan, Or Tempeh? Vegan

Tofu, Seitan, or Tempeh?

vegangal123 15 years ago

Which main protein source do you prefer? I'm a tofu girl, but I love to have seitan, too, when I'm in the mood for something that just soaks up all the flavor of the other ingredients in the dish. The only time that I've really had Tempeh was when I bought it from my local health food store, and it was definitely a disappointment. Feel free to introduce other protein sources that you like.

I use tofu and beans for my primary protein sources.

For us, it's beans (most used are probably lentils because they cook the quickest, but we eat a good variety), with tofu every now and then. I only use seitan when I fry it up in a mustard-type breading (it's sooooo good!). I've been avoiding tempeh, though I'm not sure why...

I loooove seitan but don't make it often because it can be a pain. Tempeh is pretty good, too, and I find it as versatile as tofu. I struggle with making tofu a way that I like so I don't cook with it much; my husband eats it a lot, plain on his spaghetti or a salad, but I can't stand that.

Silentexplorer13, I demand a recipe for that mustard-breaded seitan!

I also like adding tofu to my dishes. Also, I prefer quinoa in some of my dishes for protein. Some dishes tastes just yumm while some has a health aspect for which I push myself to eat a few times. Do you have some good tofu recipes?
