• ¼ cup peanut butter  

• 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for GF option  

• 1 tbsp maple syrup  

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar 

• 1 tbsp sesame oil 

• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced 

• 1 tsp ginger, grated

For the Buddha Bowl:

METHOD

Make the Peanut Sauce for Tempeh 

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. 

• If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. 

Marinate the Tempeh 

• Cut the tempeh into triangles.

• Place the tempeh in a shallow dish or bowl and pour the peanut sauce over it, making sure each piece is well-coated. 

• Let it marinate for at least 20-30 minutes, or ideally for a few hours. You can also refrigerate it overnight for more flavour absorption. 

Cook the Mixed Grains 

• As per packet instructions.

Cook the Tempeh 

• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.

• Once hot, add the marinated tempeh pieces to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. 

Assemble the Buddha Bowl 

• Start by adding a scoop of cooked mixed grains to each bowl. 

• Add a portion of the crispy peanut-marinated tempeh. 

• Add a few spoonful’s of kimchi. 

• Place cucumber ribbons on top. 

• Garnish with fresh lime wedges, sliced chilies, sliced avocado and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. 

• Optionally, add fresh coriander or spring onions for extra freshness.
