Ingredients

  • 1 block (8 oz) tempeh, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tempeh: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tempeh and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked tempeh to the skillet. Pour in the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
