Tempeh And Green Beans With Shiitake Miso Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Combine broth, mushrooms, ginger to taste, and oil in a small saucepan. Bring to rapid simmer, then cover and simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes.
• In a small container, combine cornstarch with just enough water to dissolve. Whisk it into the saucepan and cook just until the gravy thickens. Remove from heat.
• Combine miso with 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir into the gravy.
• Season with pepper to taste, cover and set aside.
• Cut the tempeh into 1/4-inch-thick slices crosswise, then cut these in half lengthwise to get narrow strips.
• Heat the oil and soy sauce slowly in a skillet, then add tempeh strips and gently stir to coat. Saute ever medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Gently stir in green beans and bell pepper and turn heat to medium-high. Continue to saute, stirring frequently for 5 minutes longer.
• Stir in the gravy, top with almonds if desired, and serve at once.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Whisk together the melted butter, miso paste, garlic, scallion and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
• Blister the green beans: Pat the green beans dry with a paper towel. Add the canola oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the green beans and sprinkle with salt. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Finish the dish: Add the miso butter mixture and turn the heat off. Using tongs, toss the beans with the sauce to coat, adding a tablespoon of water if necessary to loosen the sauce. Garnish with the crispy onions.
