Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the sweetcorn and cherry tomatoes, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  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 cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and tempeh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
