Ingredients
- 1 block of tempeh
- 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil (or any oil you want)
- 8-10 brussels sprouts, quartered
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Thai basil, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetarian stir fry sauce (vegetarian oyster sauce)
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2-1 tsp chili garlic paste (sambal oelek or sriracha works too)
- 1/2 lime or lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Cut tempeh in half and place in a small pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8 minutes. Drain water and let it cool for 5 minutes. This step is SO important to get rid of any bitter taste from the tempeh, so don’t skip it!
- Cut tempeh into thin strips and then dice it into little pieces.
- Add oil to a non-stick pan and heat on medium high heat. Add brussels sprouts and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add tempeh and continue to saute for 3 minutes, or until tempeh and brussels sprouts start to brown. Add in the garlic, green onions, and Thai basil. Saute for 1 minute.
- Add vegetarian stir fry sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, and chili garlic paste to the pan. Stir and saute for 1 minute. Taste and add more soy sauce, stir fry sauce, or hot sauce if needed.
- Serve on top of jasmine rice or quinoa and squeeze some lime or lemon on top if you wish. Enjoy!
