Cauliflower Biryani
Korean Barbecue Tempeh
Wraps
Serves 4
Why This Recipe Works Boldly flavored, sweet-and-sticky Korean barbecue is always a hit, and this tempch wrap includes all those winning flavors, proving that you don't need meat to enjoy it. Tempeh has a great firm, chewy texture that stood out once wrapped, and its slight bitterness worked beautifully with the flavor-packed barbecue sauce. To give the tempeh a deeply browned crust, we seared it in a skillet before tossing it with the quick sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, sugar, sriracha, and rice vinegar, which balanced the tempeh with sweetness, tang, and a little heat. Including some cornstarch and simmering the sauce for 5 minutes gave it a thick, velvety consistency, and it clung nicely to the tempeh.
For vegetables and herbs, we chose thinly sliced baby bok choy, radishes, and scallions for cool crunch, plus whole cilantro leaves for freshness. We tossed half of the barbecue sauce with the tempeh and then drizzled the other half over the vegetables so the wrap would have great flavors in every bite,
