● 2–3 tablespoons soy sauce
● 2–3 tablespoons olive oil

The Bowl:

● Olive oil for roasting sweet potatoes
● 12-16 oz tempeh, cubed (1-2 blocks of tempeh depending on brand, defrosted if frozen)
● 3–4 cups kale, cut into small pieces (about 1 bunch green or purple kale)
● 1 avocado (ripe)
● Sauerkraut (optional and encouraged)
● other toppings / add-ins: brown rice (cooked), quinoa (cooked), crispy onions, pecan pieces,

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the tempeh:
a. Cut the tempeh into cubes and place in a saucepan.
b. Cover the tempeh with water and boil for 5-10 minutes.
i. Boiling the tempeh brings out the nuttiness and makes it taste good. After boil
time is complete, remove from stove and drain using a strainer or sieve.
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.
3. While the tempeh is boiling or cooling, prepare the dressing.
a. Put all dressing ingredients into a jar or bowl, mix well until combined.
4. Marinate the tempeh.
a. In a bowl or pan, use half of the dressing mixture to marinate the tempeh.
b. Toss the tempeh in the dressing and let marinate covered (or in a plastic bag) for up to
30 minutes (or just while the oven heats up).
5. Prepare sweet potatoes.
a. While the tempeh is marinating, cut up your sweet potatoes into similar-sized chunks
(.5-1 inch cubes).
b. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil. Salt is optional.
