How To Make Sesame Tempeh Bowls

1. Start by heating sesame oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add tempeh and stir-fry until it starts getting golden.
2. While your tempeh is self-tanning in the skillet, mix your sauce – combine soy sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and cornstarch in a bowl.
3. Add the sauce to the skillet and toss it until it thickens and coats your tempeh. Remove the tempeh and keep it aside.
4. Add veggies to the same skillet and saut�� until it gets tender. Mix cooked rice into the veggie mixture.
5. Plate everything in a bowl and drizzle the remaining sauce on top.

Tips For The Best Results

• Always use fresh tempeh. Do not crank up the heat too high, you want your tempeh to brown, not burn!
• Add a bit more sauce for an extra kick.

Storage Tips

• Store the leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge. It can last up to 4-5 days.
