INSTRUCTIONS
SERVINGS VEGAN In her cookbook Real Vegetarian Thai (Chronicle Books, 1997), author and Thai cooking instructor Nancie McDermott says that in Thai cookery, sweet-and-sour dishes are very popular and much lighter than their Chinese counterparts. The sauce in this dish is a flavorful juice, perfect for seasoning a dish of plain boiled rice. Heat wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds. Add oil and swirl to coat pan. Add garlic and toss for about 10 seconds. Add tempeh, toss well, and spread it out in a single layer. Cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute on each side. Add cauliflower and toss well to coat with other ingredients. Add stock and cook, tossing occasionally, until cauliflower is tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Add onion, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and salt and toss well. Cook for 2 minutes. Add cucumber and cook for 1 minute, tossing once. Add cherry tomatoes, toss well, and cook until heated through, about I minute. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot or warm. PER SERVING: 258 CAL.; 14G PROT.; 12G TOTAL PAT (2G SAT.
