Tempeh Patties

Tempeh Patties

Did you know that if you bake leftover rice with some spices, it turns into this crunchy, crispy goodness that you can add to any salad, poke bowl, or toast?

We literally eat this salad on repeat these days. It’s packed with lots of veggies, avocado, edamame, and a delicious oil-free tahini dressing.

Add your choice of protein, and you have a very healthy meal in a bowl that’s ready in under 30 minutes and absolutely irresistible.

If you make these, do remember to tag me @Kanikas_Kitchen. I would like to see what you create!

  • Add grated tempeh and mix well. Stir in carrots, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. 
  • Cook for a few minutes, allowing the tempeh to absorb the flavours.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly before forming into 4-6 patties.
