I demonstrated this recipe at my recent workshop and it was a hit! I have been making this for years and am so excited to share this healthified Chinese dish with you today. It is super high in plant protein and full of flavor! It can be served a variety of ways:
~atop brown rice noodles
~atop brown rice
~over a bed of sautéed spinach
~atop a romaine salad

Kung Pao Tempeh
Ingredients:
- 1 package of organic tempeh (8 oz), cubed (I like Trader Joe’s brand)
- 3/4 cup wheat-free tamari (GF soy sauce)
- 1 T. sesame oil
- 1 t. garlic powder
- 1 t. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 3 T. pure maple syrup
- ¼ t. fresh ground black pepper
In a medium size skillet with medium heat, add all ingredients except tempeh cubes. Heat and stir constantly until sizzling (2 minutes or so). Add tempeh and stir often to coat cubes with sauce. Once the sauce gets thick (3-5 minutes) and most of it is absorbed into cubes, remove from the skillet and serve. Serves 2.
Stores in the refrigerator for 3 days. To reheat, place under broiler in the oven for 5 minutes or so. Watch carefully because it will burn quickly.
