Happy New Year!
One of my New Year's resolutions is to care more about environment 🌳
I also wants to eat less meat - I am still eating meats but understand the environmental issues is huge. Tempeh is the one I have been eating as a protein source when I am not eating meats.
Tempeh is a nutritious food and 1/2 cup of tempeh has 165kcal and 15g proteins.
Tempeh's other nutrients:
- calcium
- riboflavin
- iron
- manganese
- probiotics & prebiotics
This sautéed tempeh and mushroom with green scallion sauce recipe is very easy, and the green scallion sauce can be used with meat or fish dishes as well.
