Instructions
-
Fry the Tempeh
- Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan. Add the tempeh cubes and fry them until they turn golden and crispy. Set aside. (I personally like mine a little extra crispy for added texture 😊)
-
Sauté the Aromatics
- In the same pan, remove excess oil and leave a little for sautéing. Add the sliced garlic, ginger, and red chilies to the pan. Stir-fry until the mixture becomes fragrant and lightly golden.

Add Sauces and Seasonings
- Pour in the oyster sauce and soy sauce into the pan. Stir well to coat the aromatics evenly.

Stir-fry the Green Beans
- Toss in the cut green beans. Stir and cook for a few minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference. Remember to taste as you go!
-
Combine with Tempeh
- Lastly, add the fried tempeh back into the pan. Stir everything together until the tempeh and green beans are evenly coated with the sauce and seasonings.
-
Final Taste Check & Serve
- Taste one last time to ensure all the flavors are balanced. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Stir-fried Tempeh with Green Beans!
