How to Make Thai Tempeh

  1. Press the tempeh to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add tempeh cubes and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add vegetable or chicken stock, tamari, minced garlic, minced serrano chiles, and grated ginger to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Stir in coconut milk and sliced scallions. Season with salt to taste. Simmer uncovered for another 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy!
