Tempeh Teriyaki Stir Fry
With its fresh mix of broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, carrots, red cabbage, peas, and Yakisoba noodles coated in a perfectly sweet & savory teriyaki sauce, the Taylor Farms Teriyaki Meal Kit comes with everything you need to quickly whip up a supremely tasty Asian-inspired meal in minutes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add a generous portion of protein to the equation. And while ingredients like chicken, pork, and shrimp are always popular stir-fry inclusions, we think it’s pretty hard to beat tempeh — especially when it’s browned in a delectable four-ingredient stir-fry sauce that perfectly complements the flavors in the Teriyaki Meal Kit. We’re definitely onto something here; we think you’ll readily agree!
- Total TIME:
- 15 Min
- SERVINGS:
- 3-5
- CREATED BY:
- Short Girl Tall Order
Ingredients
- 1 Taylor Farms Teriyaki Meal Kit
- 6 oz package of Tempeh, sliced
- 2–3 Tbsp oil, for stir fry
Tempeh stir fry sauce:
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tsp sriracha (optional, for spice)
Directions
- Slice the tempeh into 1″ thick slices and mix together the stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add 1-2 Tbsp oil to a skillet or wok and turn on the heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tempeh slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and crispy.
- Once the tempeh is browned, pour in the tempeh stir-fry sauce and mix to coat. Cook for about 1 minute until the sauce sticks to the tempeh. Remove the tempeh from the pan and set aside.
- In a separate wok (or the same pan, but rinsed), add 1 Tbsp of oil and turn on the heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the Taylor Farms stir-fry veggies. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the veggies are crisp and cooked throughout. While the veggies are cooking, cut a slit in the noodle packet and microwave for 1 minute to soften the noodles.
- Next, add the noodles to the pan of cooked veggies and stir fry together for an additional 1 minute. Once mixed, add in the Taylor Farms Teriyaki Sauce and mix everything together for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and top with the marinated tempeh. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Plant-Based Tempeh-tation
Tempeh (pronounced TEM-pay) is a hearty plant-based protein made from fermented soybeans that originated in Indonesia. It’s basically a dense cake made from fermented soybeans, giving it a unique nutty flavor and firm texture. One of the best things about tempeh is its versatility — you can slice it, marinate it, and grill it up for a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside chewy. It’s a fantastic meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans because it’s packed with protein.
You can toss it into stir-fries for a protein boost, slap it between slices of bread for a killer sandwich, or crumble it up to make veggie-packed tacos or pasta sauces. Feeling fancy? Steam it, bake it, or simmer it in soups and stews to soak up all those delicious flavors. Bottom line: tempeh’s ability to adapt and soak up flavors makes it a secret weapon in the kitchen, whether you’re a seasoned home chef or just starting to explore more plant-based eats
