Chilli Tempeh Stir-fry

   

This is hands down my favorite dish of all time. Easy Chilli Tempeh Stir-Fry, only takes 20 minutes. You can start marinating the tempeh a whole day ahead to guarantee a double dose of flavor from the marinade. Toss in a cast iron or wok with stir-fried onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, shredded cabbage and carrot, liquid aminos and sesame oil, and the tempeh comes out glistening with flavor, with a slightly chewy bite. Go make it tonight! you can thank me later! Full recipe on my blog, linked in profile. <3 <3 <3 Hit reply, I'd love to hear from you.
