We’ve been cooking a lot of vegetarian meals recently. One because I like them, and two because that means I don’t have to go to the store because I usually have most of the ingredients at home already.
These tempeh balls were inspired by Donna Hay, with a bunch of changes because I don’t know how to follow a recipe and didn’t have all of the ingredients. That’s what I love about recipes! They’re like rules…. they were made to be broken.
We served this recipe with stir fried veggies and brown rice. Choose whatever you have at home!
