Instructions
- In a deep medium pan, add the tempeh, water, soy sauce, orange juice, ginger powder, garlic powder and sugar
- Mix well and cook covered on low heat, until all liquid is absorbed(12-15 minutes).You can also marinate the tempeh in the mix for half an hour before cooking.
- In another medium pan, add 1 teaspoon of oil and heat on medium heat.
- Add the cooked tempeh and cook on medium heat for 2 minutes until some sides are brown/crisp.
- Add garlic cloves, ginger and cook for half a minute.
- Add the following; soy sauce, sugar, orange juice, chilli flakes, white wine, sherry, hoisin, sesame oil and cornstarch
- Mix well to coat and cook on low-medium heat until the sauce thickens(5-7 minutes). Adjust spice and Sauces if needed to taste.(depends on the sauce brands, each has different flavor depth)
- Serve hot with a cup of white or brown rice, topped with chopped green onions/scallions and a slice of mandarin orange.
Notes
- You can add blanched/steamed broccoli to the pan once the tempeh is browned and continue with the rest of the steps. Other veggies that can be added.. bok choy, carrots. I was out of broccoli, since hubbs wanted the pickle spice Broccoli curry day before:)
- The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled, add red pepper flakes to taste and you might need more cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
