Ingredients

Sauce

• 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
• 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter, no sugar added
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Stir Fry

• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 226 grams tempeh, cut into 2 ½-centimetre cubes
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups trimmed green beans
• ¾ cup thinly sliced carrot
• ¾ cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
• ½ cup sliced yellow onion

Instructions

1. Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. To save time, use a blender.
2. Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss the cubed tempeh with salt and pepper.
3. Add the tempeh to the skillet once the oil is hot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flip the cubes, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the tempeh is golden brown.
4. Reduce the heat to low, add a spoonful or two of the sauce, toss to coat, and then transfer the tempeh to a plate. Set it aside.
5. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to the stovetop over medium heat.
6. Add the remaining oil, then toss in the green beans and carrots. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Remove the lid and cook while stirring for 2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
8. Add the sugar snap peas, onion, and the remaining sauce. Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes, then return the tempeh to the skillet.
9. Cook for 3 more minutes or until everything is coated in sauce.
10. Serve alone or with brown rice.
