Make

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and then place tempeh on heated oil. Sear on each side until golden, ~5 minutes. Transfer tempeh to a plate and return skillet to heat. Add half the ginger miso sauce (remember to save the other half for Wednesday) and stock to hot pan. Stir, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan until the sauce thickens a bit, ~2 minutes. Turn off the heat under the pan. 

  2. Meanwhile, heat a wok or a second skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil for broccoli. When oil begins to shimmer, add broccoli and a tablespoon of water (for 4 servings, adjust accordingly) and stir-fry until bright green and tender, ~5 minutes. Add garlic, cashews, sesame seeds and soy sauce and stir fry until garlic is fragrant, ~1 minute more.

  3. Serve tempeh with ginger miso pan sauce over top and broccoli on the side. Enjoy!
