Bok Choy & Tempeh Stir Fry

Bok Choy & Tempeh Stir Fry

Bok Choy & Tempeh Stir Fry with sautéed vegetables served over rice. This dish is quick and easy to make and is absolutely delicious. Bok Choy is a nutrient-dense member of the cabbage family and can be found at most grocery stores. If you’re unable to eat soy, you can substitute the tempeh for chicken, shrimp, or seitan and replace the soy sauce with liquid aminos. We used leftover grilled corn in this recipe, but you can also use steamed, canned, or frozen corn if you decide to include that ingredient.

Ingredients

Serves: 3 Time: 40 minutes

Bok Choy & Tempeh Stir Fry

  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1/2 package tempeh, sliced 
  • 1 head of Bok Choy, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, sliced
  • Optional: 1/2 ear of cooked corn, kernels removed or 1/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • Sesame or olive oil

For the sauce: 

  • 2-3 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbs corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water 

Directions

  1. In a rice cooker or stovetop pot, begin cooking your rice with 2 cups of water.
  2. Rinse, dry, and prepare your vegetables and slice the tempeh.
  3. Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. In a skillet or wok, heat about 1 Tbs of sesame or olive oil on high heat. Once hot, begin cooking the tempeh.
  5. Cook the tempeh until lightly browned on each side.
  6. Add in the onion, bell pepper, corn, and carrot.
  7. Continually stir the vegetables on high heat until the onions are translucent and the remaining vegetables are tender.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-high and add in the mushrooms and bok choy.
  9. Create a hole in the center of the pan and add in the sauce. The sauce will quickly begin to darken in color and bubble. At that moment, stir it into the vegetables.
  10. Cook for about 5-7 minutes in the sauce.
  11. At this point, the vegetables should be fully cooked. Serve with rice and enjoy. Optional toppings include sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, green onions, or sriracha.

Creamy Mushroom Kale Pasta

Creamy Mushroom Kale Pasta

This Creamy Mushroom Kale Pasta is made with a creamy vegan sauce using silken tofu, garlic, and nutritional yeast. If you are wanting to try a non-vegan version, you can substitute the sauce for an Alfredo or this homemade white sauce from Lil’ Luna

Ingredients

Serves: 4-5 Time: 30 minutes

Creamy Mushroom Kale Pasta

For the sauce

  • 1 package silken tofu
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 shallot, diced

For the pasta

  • 1 box penne pasta *can be substituted for gluten-free pasta
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Optional: top with fresh minced basil or parmesan if non-vegan

Directions

  1. In a sauce pan, add a splash of olive oil on high heat. Begin sautéing the garlic and shallot until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Either transfer the cooked shallot and garlic to a food processor or keep in the pan if using an immersion blender. Whichever way, combine with the tofu, salt, and nutritional yeast and blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Return the combined sauce to a sauce pan and cover with a lid (no heat).
  4. In another pot, begin boiling water for your pasta and prepare according to the packaging.
  5. In a skillet, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil on high heat and begin sautéing mushrooms. Cook for about 7 minutes on high heat, then add the pasta sauce to the pan and seasonings, stir together for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low.
  6. After about 7 more minutes, add the chopped kale to the sauce/mushroom mix and allow it to wilt. Be careful not to overcook the kale, you want the leaves to remain bright green.
  7. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water, remove the veggie/sauce mix from the heat and combine it with the pasta. Stir together well.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

If you’re using a pre-made Alfredo sauce, this recipe is super quick and easy, simply sauté some mushrooms and kale until they are soft, heat up the sauce and serve with pasta.

You may optionally top your pasta with Parmesan or more nutritional yeast.
