Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the tempeh for about 6 minutes, occasionally stirring until browned on each side.
In the meantime, prepare the sauce by mixing ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, Dark and Smokey pepper blend and maple syrup in a bowl.
Add half the sauce to the pan with the tempeh, mix until coated, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Add the carrots, broccoli and pepper, and remaining sauce to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
Next, add in the tempeh and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked through.
