Don’t be surprised if Tempeh Joe becomes your new boyfriend. You can substitute another 1 cup cooked brown rice for the tempeh if you want a truly fat-free and soy-free joe, but you’ll have to call him Rice Joe or Nice Joe instead. A diced green bell pepper and onion cooked in water or broth also make a nice addition to the mixture, extending the servings to 8 to 10 sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 18-oz package tempeh
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp prepared yellow mustard
- hot sauce, to taste (optional)
- salt, to taste (optional)
- pepper, to taste (optional)
- 6 lettuce wraps or whole-wheat buns
How to Make It
- Bring a pot of water, enough to completely submerge the tempeh, approximately 2 to 4 cups, to a boil.
- Add tempeh and soy sauce and bring to a boil again.
- Boil for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water until the tempeh is warm.
- Shred tempeh using the shredding attachment for your food processor or a cheese grater. You want the tempeh to be granulated and slightly larger but similar in shape to the rice.
- Combine tempeh with remaining ingredients except salt and pepper in a large bowl, stirring to combine.
- Salt and pepper if desired.
- Spoon into lettuce wraps or onto a whole-wheat bun.
