Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz tempeh, cubed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add cubed tempeh and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tempeh and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining vegetable oil. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return tempeh to the skillet. Pour in the orange glaze mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
  7. Drizzle with sesame oil, garnish with green onion and sesame seeds, then serve hot.

Notes

For extra protein, serve over steamed brown rice or quinoa. You can also add a handful of cashews for added crunch.
