Asian Tempeh with Carrots and Rice
I know not everyone is a fan of tempeh, but it's yummy and nutty and healthy. The tempeh I use consists of water, soy beans, and brown rice and forms a rectangular patty. I used Lightlife Tempeh soy found in the produce section of my local Kroger.

Cut the thichness of the tempeh in half then into bite-size pieces.
Marinate for 1-24 hours *the longer the better* in:
3 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp light maple syrup
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp water
1/2 tsp. chinese 5 spice seasoning
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Spray Skillet with FF Vegetable spray and put in 1/2 onion and a couple chopped carrots
Brown for about 2 minutes
Add marinated tempeh with sauces
brown for about 10 minutes and add 5-6 tbsp. of light soy sauce and veg. spray as needed
Serve with 1 cup asian rice (I use botan found at Fiesta)
Makes 4 hearty servings fo stir fry
1 serving with 1 cup of rice is 6.5 points!
