Ingredients

2 tsp sesame oil (sub avocado or coconut oil, or water or broth for oil-free)
2 cups chopped carrots
1 medium-sized white onion, sliced
1 heaping cup sliced white or crimini mushrooms
2 bell peppers (any colour), sliced
4 cups chopped broccoli
salt and pepper, to taste
hoisin sauce, for serving (or another homemade or store-bought sauce of choice, use 1-2 tbsp per bowl)
2 cups cooked brown rice, for serving

For the Tempeh

1 package tempeh, cubed (about 350 g or approx. 1/2 cup per bowl, use more or less depending on nutritional needs)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
generous pinch of pepper

Instructions

Add the tempeh ingredients to a container, mix and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the oil, broth or water, carrot, broccoli, onion, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the onions are softened.
Add the rest of the veggies and cook for 4-5 minutes until everything is cooked al dente (slightly soft while still retaining some crunch).
While the veggies are cooking, place the cubed tempeh on a baking tray and broil in the oven for 5-10 minutes until browned and crispy.
Serve the stir fried veggies in a bowl with a scoop of brown rice, 1/4 of the crispy tempeh and a generous drizzle of hoisin sauce or another sauce of choice.
