Instructions
Make the Tempeh
-
Whisk together water, worchester sauce, garlic, maple syrup and liquid smoke. Add tempeh and stir to coat. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
-
Coat medium skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add tempeh and marinade. Cook about 5 minutes, flipping twice during cooking, until pieces are browned on several sides.
Make the Quinoa Base
-
While tempeh marinades, bring broth to a boil in medium saucepan. Add quinoa, lower heat, and cover. Allow to simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Sauté the Veggies and Sauerkraut
-
Coat medium skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots. Sauté until carrots are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add sauerkraut and continue sautéeing just until heated throughout, about 1 minute.
Make the Cashew Cream Sauce
-
Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
Assemble the Tempeh Reuben Bowls
