NOTES : Tempeh, originally from Indonesia, is a soy product like tofu. But

unlike tofu, its firm, nutty texture lends itself perfectly to vegetable

burgers. Tempeh burgers have fifty percent more protein than burgers made of

beef and are cholesterol free. Tempeh can be found next to the tofu in the

produce department of the supermarket. For this recipe it is served with a satay

peanut sauce. Sprouts and grated carrots go well on this burger.
