Kung Pao Tempeh
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1/2 cup dry sherry 1 1/3 cups vegetable stock 2 tablespoons honey 1 lb tempeh 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon salt 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 3 tablespoons roasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 dried mild chili pepper, crushed or 1 tsp crushed red pepper 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 piece fresh ginger, (2 inch) minced 1/2 cup smooth low-sodium peanut butter 1/2 cup soy milk 4 scallions, sliced, green and white parts 3 cups hot cooked white rice
Whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, 1/4 cup sherry, the stock, and honey and set aside.
Cut the tempeh into small squares and, in a steamer basket set over boiling water, steam for 5 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sherry, the cornstarch, salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Add the tempeh and let marinate while sauteing the remaining ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chili pepper for one minute, being careful not to burn it. Lower the heat, add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in the peanut butter, soy milk, and soy sauce mixture. Add the tempeh along with its marinade and simmer over very low heat for 10 minutes. Serve over rice immediately, garnished with scallions.

Reviewer: Deb from Creswell, OR
Don't be fooled by a long list of ingredients--this is easier than it looks. Tastes fantastic! Only things I will change next time will be to bump up the spicing a bit (a bit more hot chili or hot sauce, a bit more ginger) and add sauteed red and green bell peppers for taste and a bit more visual appeal.
