Stir Fry
  1. Cut the tempeh into small cubes and add to the peanut sauce in order to coat the cubes with sauce.
  2. Add the oil to a wok on a high heat and add the tempeh cubes. Fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned turning them over regularly.
  3. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for another few minutes stirring regularly
  4. Once the onions start to soften, add the rest of the chopped vegetables and grate in the ginger. Cook for another 5 minutes. Keep stirring regularly to avoid any of the vegetables getting burnt.
  5. Add the rest of the peanut sauce and mix the vegetables around so they get some sauce coating
  6. Cook on a medium heat for another 5 minutes ensuring to stir regularly so everything cooks evenly
  7. Serve with cooked noodles or rice
