I had about a cup and a half of leftover brown rice that had been sitting in my refrigerator for the past few days and I needed something to eat it with for lunch today. So this morning I spontaneously whipped together something on the stove:
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon of peanut oil
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1/2 a package of soy tempeh
2-3 leafs of steamed Chinese broccoli
After sautéing the first three ingredients for a few minutes I added the tempeh and turmeric, splashing in a few tablespoons of water to keep things from drying out. In a separate pan I steamed the Chinese broccoli, stems and all, until they were soft (but not soggy). I then drained and added the vegetable to the tempeh and let it cook for a few more minutes. Towards the end I sprayed on a few squirts of Bragg Liquid Aminos (very similar to soy sauce) which really added flavor to the whole thing.
It turned out great and only took me about 15-20 minutes. When you add in the brown rice it's a very tasty and nutritious meal!
