My plant-based version of the Asian classic is packed with protein, greens, and a slightly sweet and salty glaze. If you don't like tempeh, sub tofu instead, but I think the tempeh works well here to soak up the flavors! Try serving it over quinoa or your favorite grain. Add more sriracha if you like it hot and a dollop of hummus to cool things down. Leftovers keep well in the fridge, so I like to make a full serving and save leftovers for the next few days. Feel free to try your own vegetable variations and make it yours!
