Baby Spinach & Soy Beans (Tempeh) Stir Fry

Tempeh or tempe is a traditional Javanese soy product that is made from fermented soy beans. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds the soy beans into a cake form (see pic below).

Because tempeh is packed into a cake, it offers more protein than other meat alternatives like tofu. It is also very high in fibre and probiotics and hosts a whole array of minerals and vitamins, which I'm not going to bore you with here. Tempeh has a subtle nutty flavour and absorbs any ingredient flavour it is cooked with, much like its cousin, tofu.

Here, I''m sharing a simple baby spinach and tempeh stir fry which is healthy, vegan and easy to whip up in minutes! It can be a snack, a side dish or even a wholesome breakfast dish! I love it for breakfast with baked beans because its a good protein packed start to the day to keep me full longer. Its a relatively simple dish to prepare so there is no requirement for step by step instructions here.

Ingredients (serves 1-2)
  • 1 block of tempeh (200gm)
  • 3 cups of baby spinach
  • 1 - 2 tbsps light soy sauce (per your preference for sodium)
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes 
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Canola oil

Method
  1. Slice the tempeh into thin small rectangles.
  2. Wash the baby spinach well.
  3. Heat a medium saucepan and shallow fry the  tempeh pieces till golden brown on both sides.
  4. Add the washed baby spinach, 1-2 tbsps light soy sauce and 1 tsp chilli flakes and stir fry.
  5. Serve hot garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
Told you its a simple dish! :))
