Sexy Beans á la Lajhi - Quick, easy, cheap, healthy and actually vegan recipe

I usually make this dish with tofu instead of tempeh, but today I experimented with tempeh that has many healthy benefits. I cooked for 4 people. The ingredients cost 3-4 euro all together.

 

Recipe

Preparation time: 10 min

Total: 25 min

 

Ingredients 

 

Fritters (Team Beans):

1 onion, thinly sliced

3-4 tomatoes

2 cans of red beans

Fritters (Team Tempeh):

½ garlic

1/4 cup (60 g) tempeh

1 little zucchini

1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce

½ tbsp (7.5ml) sesame sauce

2*1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

salt, pepper, ½ little chili shot

3/4 cup (150 g) rice

water

Preparation

0. To cook long-grained white rice on the stove, use a 2 to 1 water to rice ratio. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. You can add an optional pinch of salt if you wish. Add 1 cup of rice, stir briefly to break up clumps of rice, cover the pot with the lid, and reduce the heat to its very lowest setting. If the temperature is too high, the bottom of the pan of rice can scorch while the rice at the top is still undercooked. Besides cooking the rice, cook the beans and fry the tempeh in the following way:

1. In a large pan over medium-high heat, soften the onion in 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the oil.

2. Add the water, tomatoes, beans, soy- and sesame sauce. Bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper and ½ little chili shot. Simmer over low heat for 15minutes or until the beans are tender and the water has been completely absorbed. Let cool.

3. In an other pan, let the oil get really hot and saute the garlic and the tempeh on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Add the zucchini and fry them for 2 minutes. Add the soya sauce.

Bon Appetit!
