How to make Tempeh Broccoli Stir-Fry

Tips from the cook

  • Brown the tempeh first and take it out, so it stays crisp at the edges and does not go soggy in the sauce.
  • Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water first, so the sauce does not clump.
  • Add a splash of water if the pan gets dry.
  • Serve with rice or noodles.
