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!
