An Indonesian family gifted us some homemade tempeh and recommended frying it with long beans. So we excitedly headed home and did just that! You can find long beans at most Asian markets. Green beans make a good substitute. Serve over hot rice.

Ingredients

2 medium shallots, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 (1 inch) piece minced fresh ginger root
1 cup peanut oil, or as needed
1 ¼ (8 ounce) packages tempeh, cut into 1/8-inch strips
1 lemongrass - trimmed, flattened, and tied into knots

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Archer Farms fiery chili cooking oil
1 ½ tablespoons palm sugar
2 ½ ounces baby kale

Steps:

Combine shallots, garlic, and ginger in a mortar and pestle and grind into a spice paste.

Categories Bean Soy Stir-Fry Vegetarian

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

12 oz. tempeh (may substitute very firm tofu for tempeh)
1 - 2 Tbls olive oil
3-4 shallots, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbls minced ginger
1 lb green beans, trimed and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 Tbls brown sugar
2 Tbls tamari or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Juice of 1 lime
Garnishes: chopped peanuts, chopped cilantro and lime wedges

Steps:

Heat a wok over medium high heat. Add 1 Tbl olive oil, heat and add tempeh. (If using tofu, skip this step and add tofu after adding sauce ingredients). Brown tempeh (cook about 3-4 minutes stirring) and remove to a platter. Add 1 Tbls oil, heat, then add shallots, garlic and ginger, reducing heat if shallot or garlic begin to brown. When these are translucent, add green beans, stir and then cover. Cook until green beans are bright green and still crisp. Uncover, add remaining sauce ingredients and stir until sugar is dissolved. Return tempeh to pan (or add tofu now) and cook until tempeh is heated. Serve over rice, if desired. For low carb, use a sugar substitute for the brown sugar.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh tempeh that is firm and white in color. If you can't find tempeh, you can substitute tofu.
To make the tempeh more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have kecap manis, you can substitute a mixture of soy sauce and brown sugar.
To make the green beans more tender, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the stir-fry.
Serve the stir-fry with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This Indonesian tempeh and green beans stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The tempeh is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, then stir-fried with green beans and a sweet and savory kecap manis sauce. The result is a dish that is packed with flavor and sure to please everyone at the table.
