We never ate tempeh before. This was really good and we would make it again. Franks makes a “Buffalo” sauce so we used that instead of the hot sauce and spread. We also used whole grain English Muffins instead of the hamburger buns. Thank you for sharing 🙂

I like Frank’s simple hot sauce ingredients a little better than buffalo sauce ingredients. Hot sauce: Aged Cayenne Red Peppers, Distilled Vinegar, Water, Salt And Garlic Powder. Buffalo: Distilled Vinegar, Aged Cayenne Red Peppers, Salt, Water, Canola Oil, Paprika, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Benzoate (as a preservative), Natural Butter Type Flavor And Garlic Powder. I LOVE using sprouted whole grain English muffins instead of buns! Nice work!xo
