Spicy Green Bean-Asparagus Stir Fry

This Wednesday is feeling more like a Monday, but trying to power through it.  The best part of the work day is going home, enjoying a great walk, making my husband a nice dinner and then relaxing with him the rest of the night.  Yea, I'm rowdy that way!  Yesterday was SO beautiful out that I whipped up the below Spicy Green Bean-Asparagus Stir Fry recipe and we enjoyed dinner out by the pool.  This was a great quick weekday recipe!

Spicy Green Bean-Asparagus Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Vegetable Broth
• 1 Onion
• 1 Red Pepper, diced
• 1 Jalapeno, diced
• 1 lb. Green Beans (fresh or frozen), ends trimmed off
• 1 bunch of Asparagus, cleaned and ends trimmed off
• Lightlife Organic Smoky Tempeh Strips
• 1 tsp. Fresh Ginger, minced
• 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• Pepper to taste
• ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
• 2 tbsp. Sriracha
• 2 tbsp. Peanut Butter (or nut butter of your choice, I used Sunbutter I made)
• Cashews for garnish (or peanuts)
• Soba Noodles

 

Directions

Heat about 2 tbsp. of vegetable broth in a pan, add the onion and ginger and fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add in the red pepper, jalapeno and asparagus and cook for 3-5 minutes. Slice tempeh into bite sized pieces and add with green beans. Stir in spices, Sriracha and soy sauce. While veggies are cooking in a large pot bring water to a boil and cook soba noodles per their directions. When the beans are warmed through and soft, add the peanut butter and stir thoroughly until well melted. Serve hot over soba noodles, garnished with cashews and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you like the extra heat!  Enjoy!

 

Have a happy and healthy Wednesday!
