Pickled fried cabbage with tempeh

The first time I tried tempeh,it was deliciously cooked by Christina Pirello. I couldn't reproduce the taste ever since. Whatever I did, tempeh tasted like a roll of wet newspapapers stuffed in my mouth. After chef Doug's presentation I got the point - steaming is important to reveal the true taste ans structure of tempeh. This recipe was a whole world different from what I have produced before.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups fresh cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups pickled cabbage
  • 3 leaves of swiss chard ( optional)
  • 1 8-ounce package tempeh
  • 1.5 cups boiled water
  • 1 cube vegetarian boullion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (do not add if aiming to lose weight)
  • 1 tsp each thyme, majoran, sage (optional)
  • no more salt! pepper to taste

Directions:
  1. Mix boullion cube with water and herbs. cut tempeh
  2. Cut tempeh in 1/4 inch cubes. Slice it horizontally once, and then cube it.
  3. Heat small skillet and add water and tempeh cubes to it. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for not less than 10 minutes. If water is not fully absorbed after that, open a lid and let it simmer more under your supervision. If water absorbes prior to 10 minutes, add 1/4 cup more.
  4. Heat bigger skillet and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add shredded cabbage and pickled cabbage and mix often until shredded cabbage becomes soft, for about 5 minutes. Add tempeh, cover, let it simmer for 2 more minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  5. Serve hot or cold.

Makes 3 servings as a main course or 6 servings as a side dish. Freezes well.
