Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm planning to cook dinner tonight, but I'm not sure what type of protein to use. What are some popular options?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You have several options. You can choose from meats like chicken, beef, or pork, fish like salmon or tilapia, or plant-based options like tofu or tempeh.<|im_end|>

I'm in the mood for something plant-based. What's the difference between tofu and tempeh?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Tofu is made from soy milk and has a softer texture, while tempeh is made from fermented soybeans and has a nuttier flavor and firmer texture.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That helps. I think I'll try tempeh. Do you have any simple recipe suggestions?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, you can try marinating tempeh in your favorite seasonings and grilling or pan-frying it. You can also crumble it into stir-fries or salads for added protein.<|im_end|>
