Instructions

1

Pan Fry the Tempeh

Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed tempeh in a single layer and fry for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

2

Saute the Aromatics

Add the remaining coconut oil to the same pan. Add the grated ginger and stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let it burn as this will make the dish bitter.

3

Cook the Vegetables

Add broccoli florets and red cabbage to the pan. Stir fry over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp and the cabbage has softened slightly.

Common mistakes

Overcrowding the pan when frying tempeh which causes steaming instead of crisping
Skipping the pre-fry step for tempeh which leaves it with a bitter undeveloped flavor
