Ingredients

For the Tempeh:

  • 8 oz. package tempeh cut into 1/2 in triangles
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil

For the peanut sauce:

  • 6 tablespoons water Plus more if needed to thin out sauce
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste OR 1/2 in. fresh grated ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

To Assemble: 

  • 4 wraps chopped vegetables of choice (cucumber, cabbage, spinach, carrot), sriracha

Instructions

  • Cut tempeh into 1/2 inch triangles. (Or whichever shape you prefer. The smaller and thinner the pieces the better as they cook faster.)
  • Add oil to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add tempeh and stir fry for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip each piece and cook on the second side until golden brown. Turn off heat and set aside.  
  • Make the peanut sauce by stirring all the sauce ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until smooth sauce forms. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time if a thinner sauce is desired.
  • Assemble wraps by dividing tempeh between 4 wraps, topping with chopped vegetables, peanut sauce, and sriracha.
