Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cups of broccoli florets and 1 cup of sliced cremini mushrooms, sautéing for about 5-6 minutes until tender.
  2. In a bowl, combine ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of roasted garlic paste, and ½ teaspoon of onion powder. Sprinkle over the sautéed vegetables.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Add 1 cup of cubed tempeh and cook for about 4-5 minutes until glazed.
  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add your udon noodles, cooking according to package instructions—typically 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of sambal oelek. Mix well.
  6. Return the drained udon noodles to your skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss gently over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat, fold in the sautéed vegetables and tempeh, and serve garnished with extra broccoli, cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds.
