Tempeh Soysage
Vegetarian Times Issue: October 1, 2004 p.53
Ron Heatley created the Tempeh Soysage recipe because he wanted a breakfast protein that does not include sugar. He usually serves these patties with biscuits, vegan gravy and oven-roasted potatoes. Leftover patties are great in sandwiches with lettuce, onion and soy mayonnaise.
Directions
- Combine the tamari, 6 tablespoons water and oil, and set aside.
- Insert a steamer basket into a large saucepan, and steam the tempeh over boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
- Remove from the heat, and set aside. When cool enough to handle, crumble the tempeh into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Add the tamari mixture.
- Form the tempeh mixture into patties, using a generous tablespoonful per patty. Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Put a spoonful of the mixture into the hot skillet, pressing it down with a fork. Cook the patties for 5 minutes, or until browned and to the desired doneness. Turn over, and cook the second side for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and serve.

We are trying to break our costly addiction to Morningstar Farms sausage patties, but this recipe didn't quite fit the bill. It smelled great, but the tempeh overpowered the other flavors and the texture is not quite chewy enough. It's a very easy recipe, and it makes a lot, but it's not for us. Perhaps it needs the gravy mentioned in the recipe description?
Try Good Ground sausage, it comes in patties and a roll you slice, this has helped me serve my non veg children holiday breakfasts without them feeling like they are eating something foreign.
