Meatless Day Challenge
Tofu Trek is a new tofu/vegetarian stall in Victoria market. Most likely a recent change of hand. There are more varieties of tofu and tempeh than before. What caught my eye was a soy based tofu tempeh and bought 2 tubs. I love tofu and tempeh. It works as a great substitute for meat. Plus, we are taking cue from Mellie of tummyrumbles where she does a Meatless Monday and so we decided to do a Meatless Day at least once a week. This will be the first week that we are kicking off this challenge.
This is so easy to put together. Not sure if it is even considered a recipe? But with everything else going on, weekday meals have to be kept very simple, quick and easy.

A bite of the wrap
Yes. I have over stuffed the wrap but who cares. I am home so messiness and greed is not an issue 
Happy holiday season everyone. Eat and drink lots but be safe 
What are your Xmas plans this year?

Though I love both tempeh and tofu, the idea of tempeh-tofu has always weirded me out a bit. However, your wrap looks awesome! Go overstuffing.
Looks great! And of course it should be overstuffed
Is your kitchen done yet?
So glad to see you've gone meatless for a day
Way to go!
I've not tried the tofu tempeh, but I am intrigued! I will have to give your wrap recipe a go, especially when the weather gets warmer.
Our Meat Free Monday has turned into a Meat Free Wednesday this week. I was planning on doing a tempeh curry tonight, but it's too damn hot. I think pan fried haloumi on some salad leaves wins out.
Love tofu and could go without meat for months! I stayed vegetarian for one year and was great. Never tried the tofu-tempeh though, I think I will like the pieces of soy in there! Your wrap looks very inviting!
I should doing this meatless Monday too instead of doing it on random order.
It's good that you were able to find some tempeh. I'm still looking for this in our area. I'll still eat it even if you overstuffed it. 
Great idea! I admit whenever I buy tofu steaks (I quite like that brand) all I do is put it in tofu burgers with some satay sauce and salad. This is a nice alternative!
I always overstuff, I will never learn. Looks good!
I find that using tofu as a meat replacement adds more importance to the texture. I haven't tried tofu tempeh before but it looks like it'd give a good bite!
I'm with you on meatless at least once a week. We did Eggplant Parmesan this week, made with a marinara loaded with veggies. I posted the recipe if you're interested.
Good to see the meatless challenge
Veggie food can be just as yummy (at least I think so…i've been meatless for almost 12 years!) I love the way you prepared this. Keep the challenge going!
I think this is really delish! I'll have mustard sauce & mayo for that! Yummm…. I think my kids can never go without meat! haha….
Good for you – so much better for you and for the environment to eat less meat. This looks awesome!!
I've never seen a tofu/tempeh combo in my life! How strange!! The recipe looks great. Thanks for promoting Meatless Monday
That's great! No meat for a day once a week, that sounds healthy!
BTW, I've ever seen tofu and tempeh around here.
Oh yay! I am going the meatless route too. A day at a time. I'll be checking back here often then! Tofu and tempeh are always in my kitchen!
Whah…that's such a huge wrap! I would love that. The tofu tempeh looks very delicious. Haven't tried it yet. Can't find any here.
Merry Christmas Penny! Lovely way to cook tempeh:)
Love tofu, and a tempeh, but I've never tried them together like that before. Love the wrap idea. I usually throw mine into curries and such, and could probably do with something different
Your tofu tempeh is the veggo arch enemy to my latest meaty post! What did you eat for Christmas???
@lisa – I like it. It just adds a little texture to it.
@Stacy – My kitchen is almost ready. Just bits and pieces to paint.
@Mellie – And I will need to give that tempeh curry a go!
@citronetvanille – It tasted really good. Dishes can taste just as good without meat
@Divina – I rather do meatless day once a week instead of a particular as I may not be able to commit. Please join me!
@Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella – That sounds yummy too! Will have to try that out.
@Conor @ HoldtheBeef – No crime of over stuffing good food.
@Jen (jenius.com.au) – It does and Im sure it is sold in Sydney as well
@Scott K (Fight the Fat Foodie) – Sounds good! I am doing this once a week. Join in the fun!
@Shelly @ Experimental Culinary Pursuits – Wow! That is a long time. Good on you and I totally respect that.
@Kristy – Im sure you can trick them!
@Trix – Thanks babe. Knew you will be supportive
@Kinzie -No problems! We all play a part in trying to make our environment and healthy better
@Christine@Christine's Recipes – hmmm…. even organic shop?
@The Little Teochew – Fab! I will promote this slowly and hope you will join me as well
@MaryMoh – Just try it with plain tofu but can marinate with soya sauce.
@Ellie – Merry Christmas to you too!
@Y – I am also always open to new ideas
@Vee @ Munching (in) Melbourne – Check out my next post lovely!
Happy New Year! I'm finally emerging from my little winter hibernation and checking out your recipe here
I think it's a fabulous wrap makeover and if it's ok with you I'll go ahead and put it in for my 5 Star Makeover roundup! Let me know either way.
Oh it will be my honor! Thanks for asking. Much appreciated
This is so interesting! I've never seen tofu tempeh in stores before. I will have to keep my eyes open for it.
Great wrap!
