Description

There’s no need to order take-out when you can cook up this flavor-packed kung pao tempeh stir-fry at home! You’ll love all of the hearty textures in the stir-fry thanks to bell peppers, bok choy, tempeh, scallions, and peanuts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or peanut oil
  • 8 ounces organic tempeh, large dices
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated gingerroot
  • 3 large cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, large dices
  • 1 large orange bell pepper, large dices
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced bok choy
  • 3 scallions, green and white parts, sliced diagonally
  • 1/3 cup roasted salted peanuts
  • 3/4 cup (1 recipe) Kung Pao Stir-Fry Sauce (see recipe below)

  1. Fully heat the oil in a stick-resistant wok or large deep skillet over high. Add the tempeh and stir-fry until the tempeh is lightly browned, about 1½ minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, bell peppers, and bok choy and stir-fry until vegetables are cooked through yet still firm, about 3 to 3½ minutes.
  2. Add the Kung Pao Stir-Fry Sauce and scallions and stir-fry until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in the peanuts.
  3. Serve with steamed brown rice or Three-Seed Pilaf (see recipe below).
