  • 5g soy sauce
  • 20g cashews
  • 5g sesame oil
  • 10g spring onions

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and edamame, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice, then simmer in 2 parts water for 10-12 minutes, cover and steam off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the tempeh and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden, then glaze with some of the sauce.

  4. 4

    Combine the sweet chilli sauce, lime and soy, and toss through the protein and veg in the final minute of cooking.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and edamame for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: basmati rice first, then the veg and tempeh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the spring onions.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the cashews, sesame oil for extra energy-dense calories.
