Why this works
Tempeh is fermented soy, so you get complete protein plus the fermentation byproducts that make its minerals easier to absorb.
Ingredients
- 8 oz tempeh, cubed
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large head broccoli, in florets
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 3 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- Crushed peanuts and scallions
Method
- 1Steam the tempeh 8 minutes to soften its bite, then pat dry.
- 2Sear the tempeh in 1 tbsp oil until golden on all sides, then set aside.
- 3Add the remaining oil and stir fry the broccoli and pepper on high heat for 6 minutes until charred but crisp.
- 4Whisk the peanut butter, tamari, maple, lime, ginger, and 1/4 cup water into a sauce.
- 5Return the tempeh, pour in the sauce, toss for 1 minute, and serve over brown rice with peanuts and scallions.
Yvette's tip
Steaming tempeh first removes the bitterness people blame the tempeh for. Eight minutes changes everything.
