Black Eyed Pea Tempeh from here: https://www.tempehshop.com/ 1. Cube tempeh 2. Air fry tempeh and broccoli florets (or sheet pan in oven) 3. Cook rice 4. Make sauce in the bottom of bowl (I also squirted in sriracha) 5. Put Cooked tempeh and Broccoli in bowl, coat with sauce 6. Put in rice 7. Sprinkle on seeds (or just sesame seeds or nuts or whatever) For cook time, I did 400F for 20 minutes or so. Just keep an eye on it and time it with rice. I cooked broccoli from frozen and I like my tempeh crunchy.

This world isn’t designed for it to be “easy” to be vegan. The majority of the population isn’t vegan and it seems like animals get used in almost every single product out there, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessary.
