meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free

Stir-Fry Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Jasmine Rice
  • 3 cups Water
  • 4 tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 package Tempeh (chopped) (optional)
  • 1 head Broccoli (chopped)
  • 1 cartoon Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 cup Lima Beans/Edamame
  • 1 cup Sauerkraut/Shredded Cabbage
  • 1 cup Carrot Matchsticks (chopped)
  • 1 Red Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 small-medium Sweet Onion (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp. Cashews (crushed)

Sauce Ingredients:
  • 1 Zucchini (chopped)
  • 1 Lime
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/3 cup Almond Butter
  • 4 tbsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos
  • 2 tbsp. Mustard
  • 2 tbsp. Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. Mirin (optional)
  • 2 tbsp. Honey
  • 2 tsp. Chinese 5 Spice (optional)

  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder

Directions:
  1. In a large pot, bring Water to a boil, reduce to simmer, stir in Rice & Nutritional Yeast, cover & cook for 15 minutes, fluff Rice with fork when done
  2. Meanwhile in a large non-stick frying pan/wok, saute Onions, Red Pepper & Mushrooms until softened
  3. Add remaining ingredients, except Cashews, heat through
  4. If using any frozen ingredients, run under cold water in a colander until thawed before adding to pan
  5. Meanwhile, in a mini food processor, combine all Sauce Ingredients and blend until thoroughly combined
  6. Once everything is heated through and liquid has cooked down, add Veggies & Cashews to Rice, mix in Sauce & thoroughly combine

Hoff Thoughts:  This is one of those dishes where you can just go crazy - add more veggies, take some out, clean out the fridge, use what you love!  If there is too much liquid remaining in your veggies, your sauce will lose its flair; pour off any excess liquid before combining with rice.  The zucchini acts as a thickener to the sauce and will also to add volume.
