Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook. This recipe looked very unique and it  was always screaming "Try Me! Try Me!" Tempeh is a soy-based protein that is enjoyed by vegetarians and vegans as a meat alternative. I had never tried tempeh before and I'm always excited when I try new food. I LOVED the Asian flavors but I didn't like the tempeh at all. I didn't like the texture of it; I thought it was uncomfortable to eat. I would never recommend eating tempeh as an appetizer AGAIN! I would use the Asian flavors again over pork, fish, beef, chicken or vegetables. As for tempeh, well, we'll see.
