Ingredients
  • 225 g Tempeh
  • 200 g Noodles (e.g., soba, udon, rice noodles)
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1/2 cup Snap Peas
  • 2 Green Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice

Prepare the Tempeh

Cut the tempeh into small cubes or strips. If desired, steam the tempeh for 10 minutes to soften it and reduce bitterness (optional). Pat the tempeh dry.

Make the Sriracha Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together the sriracha sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and lime juice.

Marinate the Tempeh

Add the tempeh to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a stronger flavor.

Cook the Noodles

Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the Tempeh and Noodles

Add the marinated tempeh to the skillet and stir-fry until cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables and tempeh.

Serve

Serve the Spicy Sriracha Tempeh Stir-Fry hot. Garnish with chopped green onions.
