This vegan tempeh and broccoli stir fry is a delicious and easy weeknight meal that you are sure to fall in love with!
One of those recent creations that was a huge hit was this tempeh and brocoli stir fry. Oh. my. goodness! Will made up this super quick and colorful dish which is so fun to look at when served up in a bowl.
The soy sauce marinade for this recipe is one we use a lot that comes from Mark Bittman’s cookbook, How to Cook Everything. (We use his book as a reference all the time!) Topped with a bit of sriracha or hoisin sauce, this was a filling and healthy meal.
Perfect for meatless Monday! For my non-vegetarian friends, I am sure that you can easily replace the tempeh with chicken or thinly sliced beef.

Hi Debbie! I feel that same way but won’t stop my own blog anytime soon. I love the space and freedom it gives me! Plus, I’ve decided that I really prefer reading the smaller blogs over the ones that have gotten big over the years. So- keep going! This stir-fry looks delicious! 🙂
I LOVE your blog! Keep the yummy recipes and beautiful photography coming! Just like this one – isn’t stir fry the best? 🙂
This looks so filling and healthy! I am very jealous and want to have this over here for lunch. Yay for small blogs and noticing the advancements you’ve made- I feel the same way, and don’t want to stop my little corner of the internet.
Hi Debbie. I feel exactly like you do about my little blog in the big WWW. I personally love reading the smaller blogs over the bigger ones, so keep at it. 🙂
Sounds so good, great for a Meatless Monday!
This looks so good! I love broccoli and tempeh, so this is a perfect dish for me. Your first paragraph perfectly sums up how I feel about the blog, although my little following is actually quite little, haha! How is Mark Bittman’s book? I’ve been meaning to buy it for ages but have never gotten around to it! I’ve seen his TED talk and read some of his articles and I really like everything he does.
I’ve had some tempeh in my fridge for awhile now and I haven’t been inspired to make anything with it. This look delicious! I love anything with a little spice and broccoli is my favorite stir-fry type veggie 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Debbie!
