TEMPEH

SWEET & SOUR SAUCE

Mix water*, salt (reduce if you want), coriander & garlic in a bowl.

Dip tempeh chunks into bowl & then coat with cornstarch. Deep fry in hot oil till golden brown. Drain on paper towels & set aside. SAUCE: Heat oil in skillet & saute onion for 4 to 5 minutes. Add water, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, tahini, ginger & green onion. Bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tb water & stir into sauce. Stir till thickened. Place tempeh chunks into the sauce & cook briefly over low heat till heated through. Serve over rice or pasta. Great hot or cold. * I usually save the mixture that I've used to dip the tempeh chunks & add enough water to make up to ½ cup.
