Ingredients
Scale
For the Mushroom Tempeh Cabbage Cups:
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 6 cups sliced crimini mushrooms
- 8 ounces tempeh (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons liquid aminos OR tamari
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Yellowbird Foods Sriracha
- 8 leaves of cabbage OR butter lettuce
- Cilantro and extra sriracha to garnish
For the Sriracha Cream Sauce:
- 1 cup cashews (soaked for 4 hours or overnight, rinsed and drained)
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2-4 tablespoons Yellowbird Foods Sriracha (more or less to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add in the onions and mushrooms and cook until caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
- While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, stir together the water, liquid aminos, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and sriracha in a small bowl.
- Once the onions and mushrooms are caramelized, add in the tempeh and sauce mixture. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, reducing the sauce, until the mixture is sticky, about 7-10 minutes.
- While the sauce is reducing, add all the sriracha cream sauce ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed, until the sauce is smooth.
- To assemble your Mushroom Tempeh Cabbage Cups spoon the mushroom tempeh mixture into each cup. Top with Sriracha Cream Sauce, cilantro, and extra sriracha. Serve and enjoy.
