Just improvised a lunch for me and my housemates. Writing it here to share and remember:

• 1/2 a head of garlic

• 1 onion

• A generous amount of sesame oil

• 340g (12oz) tempeh

• 60mL (1/4 cup) soy sauce

• 60mL (1/4 cup) pure maple syrup

• 3 packets of red pepper flakes

• 15mL (3 tsp.) garam masala

• Some shiitake mushroom

Fry onion, garlic, tempeh together in oil, add mushroom and fry until browned, add rest of ingredients, cook until sauce is absorbed/reduced. Serve w/ rice or eat as-is.

@gwenprime It was! I had mine with calrose rice, but one of our housemates who ate their lunch later reports it tastes even better with wild rice. (Both the wild rice, a "true manoomin" in this case, and the maple syrup comes from the Great Lakes region, so they've postulated there's some sort of regional flavor synergy going on there. Looking forward to testing this out myself later. 🤤) · 3 years ago

Ah... should have also written that I added the spinach last, after letting the other ingredients get absorbed by the tempeh and mushroom a bit. · 3 years ago
