Sweet and Sour Tempeh

The sweet and sour sauce you can buy at the grocery store has about million ingredients most of which are chemicals….mmm chemicals. This recipe takes about 10 minutes to make and the SS sauce has a whopping 6 ingredients:

.half an onion sliced longwise

.5 cup brown rice syrup

.5 cup barley malt

2 cups apple juice

2 tbs apple cider vinegar

1 can chunk pineapple

Saute the onions till soft. Add the next 4 ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the pineapple and 2 tbs cornstarch dissolved in apple juice. Bring to boil till it thickens then remove from heat.

The stir fry portion of this dish can be made with any veggies you desire–we usually eat it with just broccoli. Saute the tempeh (slice thin into squares) with some oil and dash in some soy sauce for flavah. Remove the tempeh and saute your veggies till they are al dente. Add the tempeh back in and toss it on some rice and cover with sauce.
