Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: In a pot, bring a small amount of water with a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the sliced green beans and carrot, and cook until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

-
Fry the Tofu and Tempeh: While the vegetables are cooking, heat a pan over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and fry the tofu and tempeh cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the finely mashed garlic, red onion, and red chili until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked carrots and green beans to the pan along with the fried tofu and tempeh. Pour in the sweet soy sauce and season with salt to taste. Stir everything together gently until well combined, ensuring that the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.

Final Touch: Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat.

Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
