Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoon soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8oz) package tempeh
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another high heat oil)
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
4 cups cooked brown rice (optional for serving)

Steps:

  • Combine the brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce is reduced by half. It should stick to the back of a spoon and be almost as thick as maple syrup.
  • While the sauce is simmering, cut the tempeh into 1" cubes.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Arrange the tempeh in a single layer in the pan.
  • Let cook for 5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and continue to cook until browned on the other side.
  • Once the tempeh is browned and the sauce is thickened, toss the tempeh with the sauce until evenly coated.
  • Divide into 4 servings and sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds.
  • Serve over rice, if desired.

Pan-Seared Tempeh with Peanut Sauce image

This is a version of a traditional Indonesian dish called gado-gado, a salad of tempeh and vegetables in a peanut dressing. The flavors of the peanut butter and coconut milk, combined with ginger, give the tempeh a rich, tropical flavor. The mesclun and bean sprouts give the dish color and crunch.

SWEET AND SPICY TEMPEH WITH LONG BEANS



Sweet and Spicy Tempeh with Long Beans image

An Indonesian family gifted us some homemade tempeh and recommended frying it with long beans. So we excitedly headed home and did just that! You can find long beans at most Asian markets. Green beans make a good substitute. Serve over hot rice.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 (1 inch) piece minced fresh ginger root
1 cup peanut oil, or as needed
1 ¼ (8 ounce) packages tempeh, cut into 1/8-inch strips
1 lemongrass - trimmed, flattened, and tied into knots
½ pound long beans, cut into bite-size pieces
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Archer Farms fiery chili cooking oil
1 ½ tablespoons palm sugar
2 ½ ounces baby kale

Steps:

  • Combine shallots, garlic, and ginger in a mortar and pestle and grind into a spice paste.
  • Heat enough oil in a deep skillet for deep frying. Deep-fry tempeh until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Drain most of oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoon of oil. Sauté spice paste and lemongrass until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add long beans, soy sauce, garlic-chili oil, and palm sugar. Cook until long beans are tender but still have a bit of crunch, about 2 minutes. Add baby kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove lemongrass knot before serving.
