- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh cubes and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the tempeh from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the green beans and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1 tsp of red pepper flakes (if using) and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.

Tempeh, a traditional Indonesian soy product, is the star of this dish, providing a rich source of plant-based protein. The dish is typically stir-fried with fresh green beans, garlic, ginger, and a savory sauce made from soy sauce, sesame oil, and a hint of sweetness.

The best versions of this dish can be found in Indonesia, particularly in regions like Java and Bali, where tempeh is a staple ingredient. The key to a perfect Tempeh and Green Bean Stir-Fry lies in the quality of the tempeh and the balance of flavors in the sauce.
