minutesI love this recipe because I am always changing it and adding to it. If you follow the recipe it is a vegan recipe but I like to add protein for my active children. The Tempeh adds wonderful texture and with the sauce is quite delicious. This also does really well if you follow the recipe and just use a different protein like shrimp. The sauce is so good and works as a great marinade for chicken or pork. I love the flavors in this dish. It is light, healthy and quick.
