Tempeh Noodle Bowl with Sesame Chickpea Dressing

J'ai adoré. Généreuse en goût et je pense que le citron vert est de trop dans la marinade. Il y a plein de légumes et assez peu de nouilles en proportion ça fait un peu plus salade que plat chaud, et la sauce de haricots est délicieuse !

Thought this meal was light tasty and felt really nourished by it. Thank you so much for all your great recipes. I use your app on a daily basis because I know they’re good recipes there’s nothing that I’ve made that hasn’t tasted great so thank you.

Amazing! Fantastic dinner, way much better than expected.

One of my favourite recepies from the app so far. The sauce is next level

So delicious, will be making again for sure!

Just tried this recipe. The marinated tempeh is incredibly good, and yet we let it marinate only an hour due to lack of time. Cannot wait to let it marinate overnight. It is tasty and yet elegant, not overly 'saucy', just perfect. The chickpea sriracha sauce is also amazing. Here's one validated recipe that will become a classic at home! Thank you ✨️🙌

Yay so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tempeh bowl, Mages, happy cooking 🤗✨

love the dressing! I made this as a nourish bowl with a spinach and rice base and it was amazing. love the tempeh too but I always love tempeh 😄

one thing is that tempeh in my experience takes much longer to cook than this recipe calls for. it takes me about 8-10 minutes per side. I knew this going into it and timed it perfectly with the rice finishing!

Hey there, Poiven, we're so glad that the recipe is being enjoyed 🙂 The nourish bowl sounds wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful dish! My family has always had mixed feelings regarding tempeh. Tonight there was not one leftover bite. Even my picky husband praised this dish! Thank you!

Delicious!

This was amazing! I tweaked it a little bit by quickly sautéing the carrots and bell pepper along with some thinly sliced cabbage in some oil (+salt and pepper), since I wanted everything to be warm. Thank you for an amazing recipe as always!

I loved the chickpea sauce and I will be making this as an accompaniment for vegetables and salads in the future. A great way to get more protein into a dish.
The tempeh tasted great (I was on the verge of a few burnt pieces) and my toddler adored it! I had a mixed salad that needed using which had a few bitter leaves so I'm looking forward to using your suggested lettuce next time so I can taste the difference between the two. I personally liked the peppery flavour of the salad but perhaps something with more bite would be good. I could imagine that iceberg would work well too for added freshness.
Could you perhaps do an article on the nutritional benefits of different types
of lettuce/salad leaves?

Aww we're so thrilled the chickpea sauce and tempeh were enjoyed, Phillipa! Experimenting with iceberg lettuce is a lovely idea to add a refreshing twist. We've noted down the idea for an article on different lettuce leaves 😊

I only made the marinated tempeh and rice noodles with sesame oil, but skipped the chickpea sauce and sauteed leeks and carrots. It was delicious.
Can I freeze the leftover tempeh ?

Thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe, Sophie! We haven't tested it ourselves but imagine you could freeze the tempeh in an airtight container :)

The marinated temped was absolutely delicious! I wasn’t a fan of the chickpea dressing - somehow too strong and the flavours didn’t do it for me.

Hey Evi, thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe. We're just revisited the dressing and made some modifications to help make sure it's the best version it can be - we hope you enjoy this updated version in case you decide to give it another go 🤗

Evi - Feb. 24, 2024, 6:24 p.m.

Thank you so much! I gave it another change today and it turned out great. The flavours worked for me this time - really love the combo maple syrup and roasted sesame oil! 🍁

A simple yet flavourful dish! My husband absolutely loved it. I felt something was missing in flavour, although not quite sure what.
However, I did forget I ran out of sesame oil, so had to replace it with vegetable oil. Will make again and hope it is the sesame oil I was missing!
Thanks for the recipe!!

PS. Not sure whether it is only missing in the app or also online, but in the ingredients list the cumin and chili flakes weren’t mentioned. So, when it apparently was time to add them, I didn’t know how much I should’ve used. No biggie, I managed, but just to let you know :-)

Hey there, Regina, thanks so much for sharing your experience with the recipe and for catching this! So sorry for any confusion. The amounts for cumin and chili are now added 🤗

I know this is an old comment but sesame oil has a very strong flavor that is one of the base flavors of the dressing. replacing it with vegetable oil would be like replacing the soy sauce with water! hope you try this one again

My first tempeh recipe… wonderful!
