Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of tempeh (or 8 oz)
  • 1½ cups rice (or 300 g)
  • 2 bok choys
  • 6 oz snow peas (or 170 g)
  • 2 scallions
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce (or 64 g)
  • ½ cup vegetable broth (or 122 g)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1½ tsp grated ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Thai chili pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook your rice according to the package. 
  2. Chop the bok choy into 1-inch pieces, separating the white parts from the green parts. Slice the scallions. Cut your tempeh into 12 strips.
  3. In a bowl, combine the vegan broth, light soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. Add chili peppers if desired, then whisk. 
  4. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the hoisin sauce with 1 tablespoon of water to create a glaze.
  5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté your tempeh in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, until browned, for approximately 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the glaze bowl and make sure it’s well coated by it.
  6. Return your skillet to medium-high heat, and stir fry the bok choy whites for 2 minutes. Add snow peas and continue to stir fry for 5 minutes. 
  7. Add bok choy greens, and stir fry for another 2 minutes. Add more sauce, and continue to stir fry.
  8. Push greens to the sides of the skillet, then stir in the stir fry sauce until it bubbles and thickens, for 1 minute. Coat the greens with the sauce.
  9. Serve your greens over rice. Add the hoisin glazed tempeh strips, and drizzle any remaining glaze over them. Sprinkle with fresh scallions.
