Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry

Easy plant-based stir-fry with tempeh, broccoli, and mushrooms. Light, filling, and perfectly spiced. Perfect for meal prep and easy weeknight dinners.

Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry

Happy Sunday, friends!

I’m writing to you from the road today.

I just finished up at Expo West and Dan and I are on the road to Napa (Napa!!!) for the next few days to take a mini vacation before heading back to Virginia.

Being away from home for a week is kind of a big deal to me.

I crave an idealistically long, spontaneous, unrehearsed getaway…but I’m also craving a protein-packed bowl.

In my kitchen.

You know???

I’ve come to accept that I’m a homebody, while realizing the value in continually making the decision to do things outside of my comfort zone.

Like traveling across the country and refraining from packing the kitchen sink.

I always enter our condo post-vacation filled with the most acute appreciation for my kitchen and everything it.

The minute I got home, as soon as I dawn my favorite pajama pants, I’m making this Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry.

It comes together in 10 minutes with simple ingredients for an easy plant-based power bowl that’s perfect for weeknight meals and meal prep!

Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry

Being plant-based while traveling can be hard.

I’ve found that it’s not so much that you can’t find things to eat, it’s finding the right things.

Sure, you can get a bowl of lettuce at almost any restaurant, but where’s the macro and micro nutrients (and flavor, I might add), in that?

I threw together this Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry after our trip to California last summer.

If you’re like me, you can always count on your body to not so quietly tell you what it needs.

When I walked in the door, it was quite literally screaming, “PROTEIN. PLEASE.”

Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry

Luckily, I had a package of tempeh in the fridge with a head of broccoli that was surprisingly fresh, so I whipped up this quick stir fry with an easy cooked quinoa base and a spicy finish!

I recreated it a couple of times after that, just to make sure it was actually blog-worthy and not just post-vacation worthy.

It’s triple packed with protein from the blend of quinoa, tempeh, and broccoli.

The key to this bowl is to not overcook the broccoli.

You want it to be vibrant green and tender-crisp, not dull and soggy.

I used a bit of avocado oil spray to get the veggies moving on the pan, but if you’re Oil-Free, try using veggie broth instead and continually adding more to the pan whenever it gets dry.

Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry

Enjoy this Spicy Sesame Tempeh & Broccoli Stir Fry as an easy weeknight meal whenever you’re craving some serious greens and protein.

I love mine with tons of red hot sriracha, a handful of sesame seeds, and a bit of hummus or avocado for dipping and mixing.

If you’re craving more colors than green, feel free to add/swap in your favorite veggies. I think bell pepper, snap peas, green beans, or carrots would be great here, too.

Try making the full portion and saving the leftovers for lunch the next day, or split the recipe in half to make a single meal.

If you’re vacationing, bookmark it! And if you’re at home…make it!

      Hi Tracey! I love HOPE hummus– the classic is my favorite! For an oil-free option, try ROOTS hummus or Hummustir! XOXO

    Why do you need to rinse the tempeh block? Sorry, this is new for me, I’ve never tried tempeh before so I want to give this recipe a try. Can I use coconut oil instead of avocad oil spray?

      Hi Vanessa! This is great tempeh recipes for your first try! I always rinse my tempeh block just to remove any unpleasant flavor from the packaging process. Yes, feel free to use coconut oil instead– avocado oil is just my favorite! Let me know what you think if you make it!

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘

ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hi ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hiking this weekend about Girl Scouts, which led us to think about Girl Scout cookies. These are vegan and gluten-free “Tagalong” cookies with an almond  butter twist! They’re easily made with almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate. The recipe is very easy to make with simple whole foods ingredients that you probably already have on hand! The only “trick” to the recipe is to freeze each layer well before continuing to the next step! 😃 Grab the full recipe via the the link in my profile to make yours!!!
