Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz tempeh, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
- Add the cubed tempeh to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tempeh and cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli florets, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked tempeh to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the remaining marinade over the stir-fry and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
- Serve the teriyaki tempeh stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy!
Teriyaki Tempeh Stir-Fry has its roots in Japanese cuisine, where teriyaki sauce is a staple. The dish gained popularity in the West as part of the growing interest in plant-based and vegetarian cooking. Tempeh, a fermented soybean product, is marinated in a savory-sweet teriyaki sauce and stir-fried with an assortment of fresh vegetables, creating a flavorful and nutritious meal. Chefs like Nobu Matsuhisa have popularized teriyaki dishes in their restaurants, while health-conscious eateries in regions like California and New York have embraced this vegan-friendly option. The key to a great Teriyaki Tempeh Stir-Fry lies in the perfect balance of the teriyaki marinade and the freshness of the vegetables.
