Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz tempeh, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tempeh cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tempeh and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar.
  5. Pour the orange glaze into the skillet with vegetables; bring to a simmer.
  6. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, stirring continuously until sauce coats the vegetables.
  7. Return tempeh to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the glaze.
  8. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  10. Serve warm over cooked jasmine rice or quinoa.

Notes

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes in step 2 and use fresh orange segments for garnish.
