The stir-fry skillet is a place to get creative. Pick a protein and your favorite vegetables; practically any combo you can dream up will work if you cook each component properly. A full-bodied sweet-and-sour sauce made with orange juice tamed the tempeh and contributed just enough sweetness. Sliced scallions gave our stir-fry a mild bite. Serve with brown rice and toasted sesame seeds.
