Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the noodles

Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then return to the pot and toss with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
While the water heats and the noodles cook, start the tempeh.

2

Start the tempeh

  • Crumble or cut the tempeh into ½-inch pieces.
In a medium [large] frying pan, combine the tempeh and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the tempeh and transfer to a plate; pat dry with paper towels and season with salt. Wipe the pan dry.
While the tempeh cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Trim the ends from the mango; cut away the peel, then cut the flesh away from the pit into halves. Cut the fruit into matchsticks.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.

4

Finish the tempeh

In the same pan used to soften the tempeh, warm 2 to 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tempeh and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt.

5

Finish the salad

In a large bowl, toss together the rice noodles, tempeh, cucumber, mango, cilantro, carrots, cabbage, and half the tamarind dressing (set aside the remaining dressing for serving). Season to taste with salt.

Serve

Transfer the rice noodle salad to individual bowls and serve the remaining dressing on the side.
