Instructions
1
Saut Onions and Tempeh
Start by heating some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften—about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute or two until you can really smell that delicious aroma. Next, mix in the grated tempeh and keep stirring as it browns lightly, which should take around 5 minutes.
2
Simmer with Seasonings
Pour in the vegetable broth, then turn the heat down to low. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, oregano, and a pinch of ground red pepper. Let it simmer gently, stirring every now and then, until most of the liquid has cooked off—about 5 minutes.
