Ingredients

  • 130g tempeh
  • 120g basmati rice
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 80g courgette
  • 50g salsa
  • 50g red onion
  • 15g lime
  • 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the sweetcorn and courgette, 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

    Toss the protein and onion in fajita seasoning and cook over high heat until charred. Finish with lime juice and spoon salsa over the top.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the sweetcorn and courgette 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 fresh coriander.
