Knife
Measuring cups and spoons
Small bowl
Whisk

Ingredients

8 oz tempeh cut into cubes
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 medium bell pepper sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup snap peas
¼ cup gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger powder
½ tsp xanthan gum
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
1 green onion sliced for garnish

Instructions

Begin by heating the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tempeh cubes to the skillet and sauté until they are golden brown on all sides, which should take about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the tempeh from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the snap peas to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, monk fruit sweetener, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
Dissolve the xanthan gum in 2 tablespoons of water and then whisk it into the teriyaki sauce mixture.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly and allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
Return the tempeh to the skillet and toss everything together until the tempeh is reheated and coated with the teriyaki sauce.
Garnish the stir-fry with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry.

If you prefer a thinner sauce, simply reduce the amount of xanthan gum or add more water until the desired consistency is reached.

Make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to keep this recipe both keto and gluten-free.

Adjust the sweetness of the sauce according to your taste by increasing or decreasing the monk fruit sweetener.
