Ingredients

  • 1 8-oz. package tempeh
  • 3 Tbsp. lower sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. freshly grated or ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper roughly chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper roughly chopped
  • 1/2 red onion peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh basil and/or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Slice tempeh in half lengthwise. Cut each half in a star pattern to get 16 mini triangles. Set aside.
  • Combine tamari (or soy sauce), orange juice, maple syrup, ginger, and garlic in a medium-sized bowl. Add tempeh; toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, tossing occasionally.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add bell peppers, onion, salt, and pepper; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add tempeh and remaining marinade to skillet; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until sauce has reduced and begins to form a glaze over the tempeh. Remove from heat.
  • To assemble bowls, divide rice into each of 4 bowls. Top evenly with bell pepper mixture and tempeh. Squeeze lime juice evenly overtop. Garnish with basil and/or cilantro.
