This is a super tasty and delicious curry that also happens to be vegan, gluten free, low fodmap and a taste sensation!! We make a super tasty marinade and bake the tempeh in the oven in half of it. We use tempeh here but you can use tofu if you cannot source tempeh.

This Vietnamese Curry is really good, it is creamy and sweet and savoury with umami flavoured tempeh with lots of veg too. It goes great as a dinner and also eaten for lunch the next day. Tempeh is high in protein so this dish works great if you go to the gym and are looking for a high protein meal for after that is also high in antioxidants and nutrients. If you can’t source tempeh or tofu you can use oyster mushrooms, these are really meaty and substantial mushrooms and are great carriers for the umami flavour just like tempeh.
This dish is low in FODMAP’s which stands for fermentable, oligosaccharide disaccharide, monosaccharide and polyols (we know it is a total mouthful!!) Basically it means it is low in fermentable carbohydrates. This Vietnamese Curry is a low fodmap curry so it is low in fermentable carbohydrates so really good for anyone with a sensitive gut or tummy. Some of the main high fodmap foods that can cause bloating or irritation are garlic, onion and beans/lentils. All the quantitities in this dish are all low in fodmaps. Fodmap’s are super important and great for your health but for some people with sensitive guts reducing high fodmap foods for a period of time can help them to not feel bloated or irritated.
