orange tempeh (vegan & gluten-free) Something Vegan

RECIPE

Sauce:

3/4 cup fresh orange juice (I needed two oranges to get enough juice)

1 Tbsp. gluten-free soy sauce

1 Tbsp. rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. corn starch

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1/2 Tbsp. organic brown sugar

Zest of one orange

1/4 tsp. sesame oil

A pinch or two crushed red pepper

1 Tbsp. canola or vegetable oil

16 oz. tempeh, cubed

Salt and pepper

Toppings:

Green onions

Sesame seeds

To a bowl, add orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, corn starch, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, orange zest, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper. Whisk well, and set to the side. Heat canola oil in a large non-stick pan over medium- high heat. Add tempeh, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden- this only takes a few minutes. You don’t need to flip the tempeh constantly, just make sure to turn it a few times. Add the orange sauce (give it a quick whisk before adding to make sure it is still well combined). Stir the tempeh with the sauce, and continue to let cook until the sauce thickens and coats the tempeh (about a minute). Serve over rice, topped with green onions, and sesame seeds. Makes about 3 to 4 servings.

If you make this or any of my other recipes, I’d love it if you shared a photo of it with me on Instagram!
