Veggie Stir Fry is what! Remember the lovely little recipe a few posts down with tofu stir fry? Not a fan of tofu? Have a hankering for something nuttier? Try some tempeh! Slice it into cubes and add it to the Wok ($7 at Ikea!) first with some soy sauce. It’s up to you if you want it extra crispy or a little squishy, I prefer somewhere in the middle. Remember, we’re talking veggies here, there no such thing as done or undone, just preference. Follow the rest of the recipe as listed. Since tempeh has a nutty flavor I like to mix in a little gluten free thai peanut sauce to compliment it.
What exactly is tempeh? Here’s an excerpt from Wiki:
Like tofu, tempeh is made from soybeans, but tempeh is a whole soybean product with different nutritional characteristics and textural qualities. Tempeh’s fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher content of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins compared to tofu, as well as firmer texture and stronger flavor.
