I love a little sriracha and cilantro on top, but those are optional. Prepare Tahini Teriyaki Sauce. Jay and I have never been able to see eye to eye on asian cuisine.

I'm a wife to charter captain, mom of two dogs, and lover of all things food. Add about 1/4 cup of tahini teriyaki sauce into the saucepan with the veggies. Budget tip: I love to buy stir-fry veggie mixes when they’re reduced, and then stick them straight in my freezer to use whenever I want a really quick and easy stir-fry. Super filling, protein-packed and nutrient-dense meal with all kinds of healthy goodness. If too thick add more water. Feel free to adjust the ratio of ingredients in the sauce, and to add extra spices or flavours – just keep tasting as you add different ingredients until it’s as you like it.

To cook up the veggies I’ll use up leftover sauce from the tempeh marinade, and add extra tamari and tahini sauce as needed.

I love to share easy and budget-friendly recipes, as well as some of my tips, tricks and thoughts on living a vegan plant-based lifestyle.

Keep an eye on them. Halfway through start cooking your stir-fry.

Leave to marinate for at least two hours, or overnight. Top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and cilantro and sriracha (if using) and enjoy!

Mix well and spread on parchment lined baking sheet.

At this point I’ll also start cooking the stir-fry so that everything finishes around the same time. Nothing fancy in this stir fry, just chicken and vegetables sautéed together with a delicious 6 ingredient sauce that comes together in seconds in the blender. I love the brand Impulse Tempeh, which is sold at Planet Organic and various other health food shops. This reduces my veggie chopping time, and also ensures a colourful and varied amount of veggies – which makes for both a tastier meal and a more aesthetic one!
