This sauté is perfect for meal prepping: it’s ready in a few minutes and you can pair it with any grain of your choice. It goes very well with quinoa, rice, and also millet.
To prepare it, start with mixing all the ingredients for the sauce in small bowl. Heat the oil and toss the broccoli florets in. Cook for a few minutes, until they brown a bit, then add the sauce and cook for 5 minutes, stirring from time time. Slice the tempeh and toss it in with the broccoli.
