Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Tempeh
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Button mushrooms
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 small Onion
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the tempeh into bite-sized cubes or slices. For extra flavor, steam the tempeh for 10 minutes to remove any bitterness, then pat it dry with a paper towel.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the tempeh from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the garlic and onion, and slicing the button mushrooms.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic and onion over medium heat until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, around 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the vegetable broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, turmeric powder, smoked paprika, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir well and let the sauce simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Return the browned tempeh to the skillet and stir to coat it evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the tempeh through.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Golden Mushroom Tempeh over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
