Discover a quick, nutrient-dense dinner with our Tempeh and Nectarine Stir-Fry in a zesty ginger-lime sauce. Perfect for clean eating enthusiasts!
Ingredients
- • tempeh: 8 ounces, sliced into thin strips
- • nectarines: 2, pitted and sliced
- • red bell pepper: 1, thinly sliced
- • snow peas: 1 cup
- • ginger: 1 tablespoon, minced
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • soy sauce: 3 tablespoons
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced tempeh and cook for about 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
- 2 Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
- 3 Add the sliced nectarines, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the nectarines are slightly caramelized.
- 4 In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, and honey. Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- 5 Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it a final toss. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This vibrant stir-fry pairs beautifully with a side of steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for those seeking a gluten-free option. For added freshness, consider serving it with a simple cucumber and carrot salad drizzled with a light rice vinegar dressing. To enhance the meal's flavor profile, pair it with a refreshing beverage such as iced green tea with mint or a lime-infused sparkling water. These drinks not only complement the dish’s citrus notes but also contribute to hydration and digestion.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the dish's freshness and flavor, reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking. Avoid microwaving, as it may alter the texture of the nectarines and vegetables.
