First of all, this Simple Sesame Tempeh Stir Fry is an extremely flavorful and easy meatless meal. It takes about 25 minutes from start to finish. This is a great option for any night of the week, but I do love participating in Meatless Monday! The tempeh and bok choy is covered in a sauce made with ingredients like fresh lime, tahini, ginger and coconut aminos. Lastly, you can serve this dish over cauliflower rice or brown rice!

Ingredients
- 1 8 oz package of tempeh cut into small cubes
- 2 cups chopped bok choy

Ingredients for Sesame Sauce:
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Delicious dinner recipe! We served it over baby potatoes (not something this recipe would normally go with, but we had rice yesterday and had little potatoes to use up today, so we boiled the potatoes and put this delicious dish over them). We added sliced scallion on top as garnish. Yum, thank you.
YUM!! 🙂

So happy to hear that! 🙂
