SO HOW'D IT GO?

I liked this.  I have been wanting to figure out new ways to cook with tempeh, and mixing it with the peanut butter was a really great method. I didn't have the same veggies called for in the recipe, so I used zucchini, oinion, mushrooms and corn.  Just everything I had on hand!  I think next time I will make some extra sauce to pour on the rice.

this did not turn out for me, but i would be willing to keep trying until it works!
It was VERY spicy, however I may not have used enough vegetables and I think my sauce was not as "runny" as was probably intended.
Otherwise, Im not sure where I went wrong!

This turned out very very good! I took other reviewers advice and used half braggs and half oj for the sauce to lighten up the salty flavor. I will definitely make this again, although next time I will steam all the vegetables and them add them to the tempeh to cut down on the oil. I also doubled the recipe and I was very happy that I did.

Really good!  I didn't have any Braggs so I used water and a teeny bit of sodium free soy sauce; turned out great!

Pretty Good. Stated to get real salty while I was adding the Braggs (am i the only one that thinks Braggs is the saltiest thing on the planet!) so I added water instead...found it was still pretty salty so I added some O.J. while it was cooking to mellow it out again. good mix of flavors, I will make this again.
