This dish was a disaster. The tempeh was overcooked and the sauce was watery.

I was disappointed with this dish. The tempeh was bland and the sauce was too sweet.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still really good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less chili sauce.
