Equipment
Ingredients
Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup pineapple juice (from canned pineapple)
- 2 teaspoons sriracha, or more, to taste
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons corn starch, arrowroot starch or tapioca starch
Tempeh Stir Fry
- 4 teaspoons oil, divided
- 2 8 ounce packages tempeh, sliced into 1/4 inch thick strips
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- 2 cups sugar snap peas
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunks
- thinly sliced scallions, sesame seeds for garnish
- 2 cups cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
Make the Sauce
- Whisk together all ingredients for the pineapple teriyaki sauce and set aside.
Make the Tempeh
- In a large wok or skillet over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of oil. Add the strips of tempeh and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side, adding more oil as necessary to keep the pan from drying out. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do this in batches and add more oil.
- Remove the tempeh and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the same hot wok or skillet, sautéing the bell peppers and sugar snap peas for 7-9 minutes, or until lightly tender.
- Add in the pineapple and cook another minute.
- Add in the cooked tempeh strips and the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce is thickened and coats the tempeh and vegetables.
Serve
- Serve over cooked rice and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
