Ingredients
- 1 pound tempeh
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil or avocado oil
- ½ cup hoisin sauce most are vegan
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 red bell peppers seeded and chopped
- 1 bunch scallions chopped and divided into whites and greens
- 8 ounces water chestnuts drained
Instructions
- Cut the tempeh into 1-inch cubes. Chop all the produce and set aside.
- In a jar or measuring pitcher, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili garlic sauce. Mix well.
- Set a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan. Once hot, add the tempeh cubes and stir fry for approximately 5-6 minutes, until golden on all sides.
- Remove the tempeh from the pan and place in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the sauce to the tempeh. Stir to coat. (This allows the tempeh to absorb the moisture and soften a bit.)
- Add the remaining sesame oil to the pan. Stir fry the scallion whites and carrots for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the red bell pepper and stir fry another 1-2 minutes. Then add in the broccoli florets and drained water chestnuts, and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the tempeh cubes back into the pan. Add the remaining sauce, stir fry to cook the sauce, and coat all the vegetables and tempeh. If the sauce thickens too much, add ¼ cup of water to the pan. Stir and cook another minute. Then add more water if needed. Add in the remaining scallion greens and stir. Serve warm over steamed rice, fried rice, or cauliflower, or broccoli rice for a lower carb option.
