Instructions
  1. Finely dice your leek or onion and garlic. Saute in good quality non-stick pan. Can be done with oil, or steamed with water. You just need to soften the garlic and onion.
  2. Add all ingredients except for tofu / tempeh. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Once sauce thickens, add your tofu or Tempeh. Cook 5 minutes or until hot. If I am adding carrot, I will also add them at this point and they only take about 5 minutes to soften and heat. I use a carrot peeler to peel the carrot into slices. If my sauce gets too thick, I will add a little more vegetable broth.
  4. Once thickened, spoon it over rice, rice noodles, pea pods, etc.

      1. Any suggestions for vegetable alternatives to replace tofu/tempeh? I was thinking sweet potato, but I’m seeking more ideas. Thank you!

  1. This is one of our family’s go-to recipes! I add a little more Tamari/soy sauce and press the tofu so it doesn’t add a lot of its liquid to the sauce. I do end up needing a little more broth to thin. I throw in some steamed broccoli and serve over rice fettuccini. So yummy!

  2. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a
    developer to create your theme? Superb work!
