Tempeh Patties
Ingredients (Makes 2 patties)
- 5 oz. tempeh
- Filtered water
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast (I used powder; fortified with B vitamins)
- 1/8 teaspoon black salt (which is actually pink)
- 2 teaspoons water
- Avocado oil
Instructions
- Soak tempeh in filtered water for 15 minutes
- Remove the tempeh from the bowl of water and place it in a food processor.
- Using the “S” blade, pulse for a few seconds to break up the tempeh.
- Add nutritional yeast, salt, and two teaspoons of water and pulse.
- Heat avocado oil in the skillet.
- Roll and flatten tempeh into patties (half a block of tempeh – 5 ounces – makes two patties).
- Fry on medium-high heat for five minutes.
- Flip the patties, reduce heat to medium, and fry for another 3 – 4 minutes.

So… I’ve made tempeh “crab” cakes before. But crab cakes have a lot of ingredients, so it was a little time consuming (good, but time consuming). I had NO idea you could do such a tasty quickie tempeh patty! I may even make this for breakfast today! you rock. 🙂
I hope you did! I want to hear what you think!
My thoughts exactly: Why would you want to make tempeh taste less like tempeh? 🙂 It’s so funny…I happen to LOVE tempeh but have had a really difficult time warming up to tofu. Tempeh’s texture is spot on for me, whereas tofu, even when pressed can be far to mushy.
See, people can pin us down, can they? LOL I love the texture of tofu!

[…] bloggers are a HUG source of inspiration to me. JL posted these tempeh patties 3 weeks ago and my only regret is that I took so long to make […]
Looks wonderful JL! I’ll definitely give this one a try 🙂
Thank you, @veggietorials:disqus ! It’s easy and pretty – two of my favorite things 🙂
Wish I had one of your patties. I’ll have to try this.
Thanks, @Motownkittys:disqus ! Hope you love it!
Yay! I have most of the ingredients already in my kitchen. I’m gonna try making this as soon I get the tempeh.
Let me know what you think, @e803d40d91d8813744c171997cf29caa:disqus! I made them last week for a Tofu and Tempeh cooking class and they were a hit!
