Dairy free, Low fat, Low sugar, Wheat Free

recipe by Karla Maverick

Ingredients
1¾ cups water
2 1.5cm slices fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic
¼ cup tamari
1 tbsp sesame oil, for frying
½ cup reserved tempeh cooking broth, (with garlic clove)
¼ cup rice syrup
½ orange grated rind
1 300g packet plain tempeh
Method

Tempeh Marinade:

Cut the tempeh in bite size cubes.
Peel garlic and crush slightly.
Place tempeh and garlic in a saucepan with the water, tamari and ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain, reserve the cooking liquid with the garlic. Discard the ginger.
In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the tempeh over high heat until lightly browned. Set aside in a serving bowl.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the apple juice with the tempeh broth, vinegars, syrup and mustard. Place over high heat.
In a small bowl, dissolve the kudzu in the remaining apple juice. Add to the saucepan, stirring until the mixture has thickened and comes to a boil, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the orange rind and cook for 1 minute more. Pour over the tempeh immediately and mix.
Serve hot over grain.
