Instructions
Make the Teriyaki Sauce
Whisk soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic together in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside. This simple sauce will glaze and caramelize during cooking to create a rich and sticky teriyaki coating.
Crisp the Tempeh
Heat a wok over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add tempeh cubes in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Cook Shrimp and Broccoli
In the same wok add broccoli florets and stir fry for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Add shrimp and stir fry for 2 minutes until just pink. Do not let the shrimp cook through completely at this stage.
Glaze and Finish
Return tempeh to the wok with the shrimp and broccoli. Pour the teriyaki sauce over everything and toss to coat. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy and the shrimp finishes cooking through completely.
