Ingredients
  

Vegetables:
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow summer squash (or zucchini), sliced
  • 4 oz. asparagus, woody stems removed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 4 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 8 oz. tempeh (optional), cubed
Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tsp. rice vinegar
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
Optional Garnish:
  • sesame seeds, cashews, peanuts, green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Bowl

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, pure maple syrup, vegetable broth or water, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Wash and chop all your vegetables. Cut the broccoli into florets, slice the red bell pepper and yellow squash, and chop the asparagus and mushrooms. Chop the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
  3. If you’re adding tempeh, place it in the wok or skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same wok or skillet, add the white parts of the green onions along with broccoli, red bell pepper, asparagus, yellow squash, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the stir-fried vegetables. Stir well to coat all the veggies evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Return the cooked tempeh to the pan, mixing it well with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  7. Serve your Teriyaki Vegetable Stir-Fry (Oil-Free!) hot, garnished with sesame seeds, cashews, peanuts, or extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Customize the veggies based on what's in season or in your fridge!
  • To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tamari.
