1 1/2 Cups Jasmine Rice (Rinsed & Strained)
2 1/4 Cups Water
3/4 tsp Salt

For the Tempeh:

8 Oz Tempeh
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1/4 tsp Salt
3 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Sriracha
1 Lime (1 Tbsp Freshly Squeezed Juice)
2 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
1/2 tsp Ginger (Minced)
1 Avocado (Sliced)
1/4 Cup Pickled Red Onions
2 Tbsp Cilantro (Chopped)

Preparation

Step 1

Add all the ingredients for the rice to a rice cooker or a small pot. Turn rice cooker on, or bring pot to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes until done.

Step 2

Using your hands, tear tempeh into bite-sized chunks.

Step 3

Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a small pan. Once the oil is hot, add the tempeh chunks and fry them until golden-brown on one side. Flip the tempeh and allow to brown on the other side. Lift the tempeh out of the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of salt.

Step 4

Wipe the same pan clean and heat the honey, sriracha, lime juice, garlic, and ginger over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 3-4 minutes so it is sticky enough to coat the tempeh.

Step 5

Place the fried tempeh in the sauce and stir well to coat.

Step 6

To serve, place rice in the bottom of a bowl and top with tempeh and any additional toppings of choice.
