Olive oil2 tbsp
Basmati rice1 cup cooked
Zucchini1 medium
Spinach2 cups
Garlic2 cloves

Method

1

Cut tempeh into ½-inch-thick slabs or bite-sized cubes. Pat dry with paper towels to help them crisp.

2

Dice zucchini and halve cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice red cabbage. Mince garlic and ginger.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add tempeh in a single layer.

4

Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

5

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Pour over warm tempeh and toss gently to coat. Let sit 2 minutes.

6

In the same skillet, add diced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.

7

Divide cooked basmati rice between bowls. Layer fresh spinach and red cabbage on top.

8

Arrange seared tempeh and roasted vegetables over the greens and grain.

9

Drizzle generously with Tahini-Lemon Dressing. Scatter sesame seeds over the top and serve warm.
