Last night: pasta with red sauce. This morning: I made this tempeh a few days ago and didn't think it was anything special, and then this morning I combined it with the old bulgur/butter/soy standard and 1 tsp of sichuan chile paste, and suddenly it was, well, kinda special. I imagine that putting the chile paste in the marinade would be smart...but we'll see, I'll try it again this week.
