     Delicious! Served over brown rice. Used only 1 Tbs of miso. Used three grain tempeh and low sodium broth. Thanks!! - 2/9/10

     This really didn't please anyone in my family. I readily admit that I'm a novice at preparing tempeh, but, even with following the directions to the T, everything was quite bitter. Not our cup of tea, I guess. - 6/28/08

     If I can find tempeh will definitely try this as we are into one meatless dinner aweek already and going for 2. We have already cut red meat down to perhaps once or twice a month, eating manily chicken and fish. This recipe sounds VERY interesting - 9/6/10

     I have read hat no matter what kind of tempeh you buy (whether it says ready to use or not) that it is a good idea to steam the tempeh for 10-30 mins before hand to cut down on the bitterness. - 5/7/10

     It sounds like it may be healthy but too many ingredients I never have on hand. - 10/11/07

     Does tempeh have its own flavor or does it pick up flavors of other ingredients? - 10/11/07

     I hate miso, I would try it without. Has anyone done that? Does anyone know what the miso contributes to the recipe so I can substitute something else? - 5/7/10
