Servings: persons

1 block Tempeh, 8 Oz Block
3 Tablespoons Stir Fry Sauce, Divided
2 teaspoons Agave Nectar
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1/4 teaspoons Ground Pepper
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1/2 pounds Asparagus Spears, Tough Ends Removed (or Other Green Veggie Of Your Choice)
1 Red Bell Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed, Then Cut Into Strips
3 cups Cooked Brown Rice, For Serving
1 Avocado (peeled, Pitted And Sliced)
Hot Sauce, Optional For Serving

1
Take your block of tempeh and cut it into 1/4-inch thick strips.
2
Each strip will be rather thick so cut each in half lengthwise.
3
In a shallow dish, combine 1 tablespoon stir fry sauce, agave nectar, garlic, red pepper flakes, ginger and pepper.
4
Toss the tempeh in the sauce until evenly coated and allow to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
5
(For extra flavor, double the amount of marinade and allow tempeh to marinate for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through).
6
In the meantime, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat.
7
Saute your asparagus and bell pepper until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
8
Once the tempeh has had some time to marinate, push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet, and add the tempeh to the middle of the pan.
9
Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until it looks golden brown and heated through.
10
Once browned, remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of stir fry sauce and stir to evenly coat.
11
Serve with a side of brown rice and garnish with a few slices of avocado.
12
Sprinkle on the hot sauce (optional) and enjoy your healthy, flavorful meal!
