Can I use tempeh instead of seitan?

Heyy Deborah, oouu tempeh could work! We'd recommend crumbling or tearing it into bite-sized pieces, similar to the seitan. The texture will be a bit firmer and less chewy, but it will still pair nicely with the sticky gochujang glaze 🤗 For the best flavour, you could also steam the tempeh for about 10 minutes first to mellow any bitterness, then continue with the recipe as written. We hope you enjoy the bao buns if you give it a try!✨

Amazing!! I used the PUL bao recipe instead of getting frozen buns and it was worth the effort, me and my husband absolutely loved these 🤩
