----------TEMPEH------------
1/2 c Water
2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Coriander, ground
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 pk Tempeh, cubed
1/4 c Cornstarch
Oil for deep frying
-----Sweet & Sour Sauce-----
1 tb Oil
1 Onion, chopped
1 1/4 c Water
2 1/2 tb Honey
4 ts Soy sauce
1 tb White vinegar
1 tb Tahini
1/2 ts Grated ginger
1 Green onion, sliced
2 tb Cornstarch

Mix water*, salt (reduce if you want), coriander &
garlic in a bowl. Dip tempeh chunks into bowl & then
coat with cornstarch. Deep fry in hot oil till golden
brown. Drain on paper towels & set aside.

SAUCE: Heat oil in skillet & saute onion for 4 to 5
minutes. Add water, honey, soy sauce, vinegar,
tahini, ginger & green onion. Bring to a boil.
Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tb water & stir into sauce.
Stir till thickened. Place tempeh chunks into the
sauce & cook briefly over low heat till heated
through. Serve over rice or pasta. Great hot or cold.

* I usually save the mixture that I've used to dip the
tempeh chunks & add enough water to make up to 1/2 cup.
