Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (8 oz) tempeh, cubed
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
- Toss the cubed tempeh with soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tempeh and set aside.
- Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to the same skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch mixed with water to create the glaze.
- Pour the glaze over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked tempeh to the skillet. Toss everything together until the tempeh and vegetables are well coated in the orange glaze.
- Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
Notes
- Pressing the tempeh for 15 minutes before cubing helps it absorb flavors better.
- Adjust the amount of ginger or garlic to match your taste preference.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze mixture.
