Stir Fry TemKra (Tempeh and Okra)

Don’t I give the best titles ever? lol

Love cooking much, but often I do not know what to call them, as most of the times when I cook, I just drop in this and that to the pan whatever I have in the fridge or pantry lol

So let me introduce you to temkra 😛 Am gonna copyright and trademark that name, boo-yah 😛

We like okra in this house, as long as they are not the sliced one as they can get tooooo gelatinous (I do not mind it, but boys can be so fussy about it, yet they like jelly! lol).You can use any beans/grains tempeh for this dish. I make my own tempeh of any sorts of beans and grains I like, but this stir fry works for any kinds of beans tempeh 🙂

• 1 bag whole okra, frozen, 300 g
• 1 block of tempeh, frozen, mine was black beans and soy beans, 300 g
• 3 c frozen mixed veggies, thawed, rinsed (carrots, corns, Edamame, green beans)
• 4 red bird eye chilies, sliced
• 3-4 garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 thumb ginger, scraped and thinly sliced
• Vegeta powder to taste
• 3-4 tbsp crushed tomatoes (from can)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• A knife tip mustard powder
• Another knife tip mustard powder
• A knife tip cayenne powder

How To

• Steam tempeh for 15-20 minutes. Cubed and set aside
• Spray a pan or heat a tbsp olive oil and fry cumin with a knife tip mustard powder
• Stir in frozen okra (do not rinse) and cook covered for 5 mins
• Stir in mixed veggies and cook for another 3 mins, covered
• Stir in crushed tomatoes and season with vegeta and chili powder
• Lower heat and add in the rest, stir
• Add in tempeh and cook for another 3 mins
• Serve immediately

Easy peasy, and extra spicy. I LIKE!
