Tempeh with shiitake mushrooms in miso sauce

Tempeh is a great source of zinc, beneficial for impaired immune system functioning, while also contributing to faster wound healing. Beta-glucan stored in shiitake mushroom cell walls supports immune function in the gut and has various beneficial antimicrobial properties. Miso ensures the intake of probiotics that support the balanced gut microbiome. The addition of fresh ginger and coriander provides antioxidants, important to regulate stress on the body’s DNA, thus preventing chronic inflammation.
