This vegan stir-fry is a quick and easy way to get your veggies in. It's also a great way to use up leftover tempeh. The tempeh adds a bit of protein and a chewy texture to the dish. The vegetables are cooked in a flavorful olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. This dish is best served over rice or noodles.
I first had this dish at a vegan restaurant in New York City. I was so impressed with the flavors that I asked the chef for the recipe. He was kind enough to share it with me, and I've been making it ever since. I've made a few changes to the original recipe, but the basic ingredients and method are the same. I've found that this dish is a great way to use up leftover tempeh. It's also a great way to get your veggies in. I like to serve this dish over rice or noodles.
