Tempeh Teriyaki w. Sushi Rice & My Yoga Journal Comment


Lately Doug has had some great food ideas - Vegan Teriyaki is one of them. I gave it a whirl, now you can as well!


This dish was so easy and extremely rewarding. Seriously.
FYI - Trader Joe's now carries an inexpensive pack of Organic Tempeh.
Keep a few packs on hand for a simple tasty Plant Based Teriyaki.
No meat, no cholesterol, just flavor.

Fast, Easy Tempeh Teriyaki

1 Cup Sushi Rice
1 Pack Organic Tempeh
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp White or Rice Vinegar
1/2 Cup Orange Juice (or Clementine)
2 Tbsp Loy Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 Tsp Sesame Oil

Rinse, drain and then boil the sushi rice in filtered water; cover and set aside.
Slice Tempeh into 1/2" slabs. Coat frying pan with the sesame oil.
Sear the tempeh - cook it so that it browns but do not overcook it.
This should only take 2 minutes per side. Set it aside covered to keep it warm.

Place the Juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce in a medium saute pan.
Simmer for about 6-8 minutes, until it starts to bubble fiendishly.

Transfer the rice to a nice bowl or platter, toss the cooked tempeh into the sauce and place it over the sushi rice.
Serve with steamed broccoli or green beans (steam just for a few minutes, nice crunchy greens are the only way to go).
Garnish with sliced oranges and sesame seeds (I ran out so we did not have them this time). Enjoy!
