This quick glazed tempeh with fresh herbs is delicious over rice with shallots, but you can also tuck it into lettuce cups or serve with rice noodles if you prefer. The glaze is also good on ground chicken, cubed chicken thighs, or tofu. For crunch, consider topping with fried shallots or fried garlic, sprouts, peanuts, or cashews.
