The difference

44 kcal

Same weight: 100 g of each

Tempeh, about 100 g, on a white plate
Tempeh100 g · 260 kcal · 19 g protein
Tofu, about 100 g, on a white plate
Tofu100 g · 144 kcal · 17 g protein

Both are made from soya. Tofu is pressed soya milk, mild and soft; tempeh is whole fermented beans pressed into a cake, nuttier and firmer, and here it is fried.

The frying adds to tempeh's number, and the tofu is a whole block, which is often more than one person eats. Half a block is about 108 kcal.

Bake or air fry either one and they both come out lower. In Caltype just type "tofu stir fry with rice".
