Vegan Asian Style Tabouli With Tempeh

When I cook barley I usually make it in larger proportions so I can get multiple dishes out of it. The ratios are the same as rice (2 to 1). I used I cup of barley to 2 cups of water and brought it to a boil. Once boiling turn off heat and steep. You can use it while warm but I prefer to leave it in the fridge over night so it's nice and cool in my tabouli.

Cooking Adzuki beans is easy and you can find them in any health store. I buy mine in the bulk sectional whole foods. These beans have a smoky aroma to them when cooked and go great with any Asian style dish. Just like the barley I cook these in larger batches to get multiple meals out of them. Bring to a boil in a large pot and let simmer for one hour until fully cooked.

Cook tempeh over medium heat until edges are brown in saut pan.
