Yield: 0 Servings

Ingredients

           a variety of chopped veggies
           - for st
           onions; chopped
           garlic; chopped
           fresh ginger
           oil
           soy sauce
           tempeh cut in cubes (you can
           - also u
           seasonings to taste
           pasta or rice

Instructions

1. Use a wok if you have one. Add oil to pan and heat. As it is heating,
grate (or add finely chopped) as much fresh (or frozen) ginger root as you
can stand (you can grate the garlic too). Add any spices (except fresh
herbs) you plan to use - try curry based seasoning or sesame seeds/oil.
Mix.

2. Add onions and garlic. Stir continuously (or near to it) for a few
minutes. Add the veggies (longer cooking ones first) and the tempeh (a
better alternative is to saute the tempeh until brown in a separate pan and
add at the end). Cook until done.

3. Add soy sauce (liberally).

4. Turn off flame. Add tahini. Stir well. The amount to tahini you add
depends on your courage. Start small (a few teaspoons) if you've never had
the stuff. The soy sauce helps thin it out. You can also use water. If the
tahini is very thick (canned), you might want to stick it in a blender or
hand blend it with a little water first. You should end up with veggies
with a thick clingy sauce.

5. Serve with noodles (try multi-colored pasta twists, regular spaghetti,
or rice noodles - my favorite are the twists or fresh tannish noodles you
find in an Asian market) or rice. Serve on top or mix in the veggies.

Author's Notes:
Here is one of my favorite recipes that use tempeh. It is named by friends
who had to eat it.

Tempeh only keeps in the fridge a couple of days. But it keeps in the
freezer for months. To defrost: poke hole in the plastic with a knife tip
or fork (both sides!) and put in the microwave for about 1 minute
(depending on thickness). Or soak unopened package in hot (from tap) water
for about 10 minutes.

Difficulty : easy.
Precision : approximate measurements.
