Number of Servings: 4

Serving Size: 1 1/2 cups

Stir-frying is a healthy cooking technique. But often at Chinese restaurants, extra oil can sneak into a stir-fry, adding unnecessary calories and fat. Here you'll know exactly what you're getting. Two teaspoons of flavorful sesame oil goes surprisingly far.

Name: Amount:
natural vegetable broth 0.75 cup
organic ketchup 0.25 cup
naturally-brewed reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 Tbsp
Asian garlic-chili sauce 2 Tbsp
grated fresh ginger root 1.50 tsp
toasted sesame oil 2 tsp
tempeh, cut into 24 pieces 8 oz
sliced Vidalia, Maui, or other sweet onion 1.50 cups
bite-size broccoli florets 3 cups
sliced red bell pepper 3 cups
1:

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the broth, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic-chili sauce, and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 2:

Meanwhile, heat the oil in an extra-large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. (Reduce the heat if the oil begins to smoke.)

 3:

Stir-fry the tempeh and onion for 5 minutes or until the tempeh is lightly browned.

 4:

Add the broccoli and bell peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

 5:

Add the broth mixture and continue to stir-fry for 1 minute, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

 6:

Serve over steamed brown basmati rice or whole wheat couscous.
