SO HOW'D IT GO?
I tried this with black beans and a little brown sugar and I've been having cravings ever since.
I loved everything about this! Simple, delicious, tasty. My new go-to tempeh recipe!
I really loved this recipe.
I added a cup of vegetable stock in my marinade and a little bit of brown sugar. I let the stuff marinade overnight and then I cooked it, with only a little bit of the marinade. It tasted GOOD. Even my mom, a non-vegetarian, liked it (though sadly she was not craving that and my multi grain rice and lentils today :( ).
