Nutrition Notes

Fermented tempeh provides a complete plant-based amino acid profile to stimulate muscle synthesis. The medium-chain triglycerides in the coconut milk offer rapid, easily digestible energy.

Tips

  • Serve alongside a portion of quinoa or brown rice to increase your total carbohydrate intake.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice right before eating to brighten the savory flavors.
  • Meal-prep this curry ahead of time, as the spices develop deeper flavors after a day in the fridge.
