Quick Sweet Stir-Fried Tempeh

Submitted by Missy Wombat

"This quickie tempeh dish came about because my preschooler only wanted to eat tempeh if it was sweet. She gobbles the whole lot up and asks for more and often eats the vegetables or salad that goes with it. Great for padding out meals if you have left over salads and white rice."

This was my first time cooking with tempeh, and I really enjoyed it! I couldn't taste the jam in the sauce as much as I had expected, but it had a very nice flavor. I had this with white rice as suggested, and I think next time I'll make some extra sauce to serve over the rice. Thanks for broadening my culinary horizons!

I love it. I added a little korean chili sauce because I like things hot and sweet. This was awesome with steamed baby bok choi and white rice. Great recipe!
