How about we swap out the usual chicken and beef with teriyaki sauce, and instead use the hearty and versatile tempeh instead?
The best tempeh are those made fresh. It's good to look for ones that have a almost opaque white coat of mold that fills every gap, nook, and cranny, and most of the soybeans (so they are barely visible). It will also be firm and almost foam-like when you tap on it. If the tempeh is really fresh, it will probably be warm to the touch.
Of course, you will probably end up finding tempeh that's a little older, and that's also totally fine! The recipe works great with any tempeh.
