Vietnamese-Style Tempeh With Lemongrass and Cilantro image

This is from Robin Robertson's 'Rice & Spice'. Haven't tried this yet but it looks delish. Personally, I like to steam or boil tempeh for 10 minutes before using it in a recipe. The original recipe calls for using vegetarian 'fish sauce' or soy sauce.
