Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • juice of 1 small lime
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups trimmed green beans
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste (or red chili paste if you don't like curry)
  • 8 oz block tempeh
  • 4 red chili peppers, seeded and chopped (I like serrano) You don't have to add this many - I just like things spicy
  • 1/8 to 1/4 cup vegetable broth

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, with your hands crumble the block of tempeh
  2. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, soy, salt, sugar and lime - set aside
  3. In a large wok or skillet, heat oil, over high heat. Add green beans, red curry paste and the veggie broth. Cook 3 minutes, shaking pan and flipping every 30 seconds. Add tempeh, garlic and chili peppers and cook 3 minutes, gently flipping every 30 seconds to brown tempeh on all sides. Add chili powder sauce and cook 1-2 minutes, shaking often until green beans and tempeh have browned. You want the tempeh brown and the green beans crisp.
