Who doesn’t love the comfort of Chinese takeout? Adding tempeh to this already satisfying meal allows vegans and plant-based foodies to enjoy a high-protein dish right at home.
Serves: 4
Prep and Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) package of LightLife® Original Tempeh, cubed
8 oz Lo Mein Noodles or noodles of choice (spaghetti noodles work fine)
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Olive Oil
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Ginger, grated
1 cup Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced
1 Green Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
1⁄2 Yellow Onion
1 cup Broccoli Florets
Vegetable seasonings
1⁄2 tsp Onion Powder
1⁄2 tsp Garlic Powder
1⁄2 tsp Paprika
Sauce
3 tbsp Soy Sauce (add more to taste)
1 tsp Maple Syrup
1 tsp Sesame Oil
Optional Toppings
Sesame Seeds
2 Green Onions, sliced
Instructions:
1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, add soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil. Whisk until well combined.

3. To marinate tempeh, combine cubed tempeh with 2 tbsp of soy sauce and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

4. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated tempeh and stir-fry until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Stir in garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and seasonings. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender to crisp.

6. Toss in the cooked noodles and the previously stir-fried tempeh. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Add more seasoning to taste.

7. Finish and serve: garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and enjoy!
