Ingredients
  • 1 block (200g) of tempeh (diced into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (colors of choice) (sliced thinly)
  • 1 small carrot (julienned)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil for frying
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Spring onions (sliced (for garnish))
Instructions
  1. 1

    Start by preparing all your vegetables. This is the essence of stir-frying; everything moves quickly once the heat is on.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat olive or coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tempeh cubes and fry until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic to the wok and sauté for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.

  5. 5

    Introduce the julienned carrot, broccoli, and bell peppers. Keep the ingredients moving to avoid burning. Stir-fry for 4-6 minutes, or until the veggies are tender-crisp.

  6. 6

    Pour the sauce mixture over the tempeh and vegetables, stirring to ensure everything is well coated. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and spring onions.
