Stir Fried Tempeh with Peanut Sauce Over Soba Noodles
Having just made my way back to the East Coast after a wonderful two weeks in Hawaii, we decided to start pinching pennies for a few months. We're cutting back on eating out and trying to eat through our pantry instead of hitting the grocery store every other day.
This recipe utilizes pantry staples for a meal that's restaurant worthy. Adjust the recipe to use what you have on hand in terms of produce. The peanut sauce is so tasty and easy to pull together. Just be careful salting the produce and tempeh ahead of time, because if you're not careful, you can really overdo it. You can always add more salt, but you can't take it away and the sauce is already loaded with flavor. The same goes for the red pepper. If you add too much, you can really ruin the dish. Soba noodles work perfectly with this because of their ability to absorb flavors. They're also inexpensive.
INGREDIENTS
| 2 tbsp | butter |
| 1 | head broccolini, chopped |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1 package | tempeh, chopped into 2-inch pieces |
| 2 cups | cabbage, chopped |
| 1 package | organic soba noodles |
| 1/4 cup | organic peanut butter |
| 2 tsp | soy sauce |
| 1 tbsp | brown sugar |
| 1 tbsp | fresh lime juice |
| 1/4 cup | coconut milk |
| 1/4 cup | water |
| 1 clove | garlic, crushed |
| 1/2 cup | green onions, chopped |
PREPARATION:
Method
- Add butter to a wok or large skillet.

- Add cabbage and cook five more minutes. At the same time, get the soba noodles started. Bring water to a boil, add noodles, and turn down the heat to a simmer for five minutes. Drain the noodles.
- Combine the remaining ingredients except for green onions with a whisk in a small bowl.
- Pour into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until sauce begins to bubble and thicken.
- Add the cooked soba noodles to the wok. Add in sauce and combine everything.
- op with green onions and serve.
