Notes

I love using tempeh over tofu for sandwiches because of it has more of a “bite” to it and is heartier…just my opinion! Plus, sometimes tofu can be tricky to cook without frying in a ton of oil. But, the best part of using tempeh in place of tofu are the healthy probiotics thanks to the fermentation process it goes through :)
