Description

Ingredients

• 4 oz Soba noodles
• 8 oz Tempeh
• ½ Cup Vegetable Broth
• ¼ Cup Orange Juice
• 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
• 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
• 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
• 4 tsp Arrowroot Powder or Cornstarch + 2 Tbsp Water
• 2 tsp Orange Zest
• 1 tsp Sriracha
• ½ tsp Pepper
• ½ tsp Ground Ginger
• ½ tsp Celery salt
• Optional Garnish: Green Onions & Sesame Seeds

Directions

• In a medium bowl combine all the sauce ingredients except the arrow root powder and whisk together well.
• Cut the tempeh into 20-24 small pieces, about equal size, and place them into the sauce. Place that in the fridge to marinate for about 2 hours. Feel free to marinate the tempeh even longer if youd like! After youre done marinating - continue to the next steps.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil.
• This next part requires some multitasking, so read through the recipe first:
• Place the soba noodles in a pot of boiling water too cook.
• At the same time, place the sauce without the tempeh into a small sauce pan (reserving ¼ cup for the next step), and mix the arrowroot dissolved in water. Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until thickened.
• While you are cooking the noodles and making the sauce, take ¼ cup of the marinade, toss with the marinaded tempeh - cook for about 4-7 minutes until nice and hot!
• Drain the soba noodles and run under cool water to stop the cooking.
• Per serving, layer ½ the noodles onto a dish then add ½ of the cooked tempeh, and top with your desired amount of orange sauce
• Optional: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds - this makes the pictures pretty!
• Sit back, relax, and Enjoy!
