Ingredients
3cupscooked Jasmine riceor any other grain
8oz[227g] tempehcut into thin cubes about 4mm thick
Sauté lemongrass with my Vegan Fish Sauce (Nước mắm Chay) or use your favorite store brand. Since the sodium level is different for each brand, please adjust the salt accordingly in this recipe.
Tempeh substitution - tofu or other beans tempeh can be used here.
Cooked grain - my favorite is Jasmine or Basmati, but other grains such as quinoa, black rice, or brown rice is a great option.
Vegetable addition - Broccoli, Kale, spinach, or frozen mixed vegetables are some of the great addition to this fried rice.
Cucumber Relish - make this a day before to reduce the waiting time. Be sure cucumber slices are all soaked into the liquid.
