Savory Tempeh Stroganoff
This Savory Tempeh Stroganoff is my go-to comfort dish, combining earthy tempeh with a rich, creamy sauce that makes my heart sing. It's a warm hug in a bowl...

I’ve always had a soft spot for stroganoff, especially during chilly evenings when you just want something warm and hearty.
This vegan version has become a staple in my kitchen because it’s not only satisfying but also packed with plant-based goodness.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Tempeh is a fantastic source of protein and has a wonderful texture. If you're new to it, just crumble or dice it up before cooking. You can also swap the coconut oat milk with cashew coconut cream for a different flavor profile. And don’t shy away from experimenting with different mushrooms; they all bring unique flavors!
Tips & Notes

- •Don’t forget to taste as you go, adjusting the seasonings to your liking!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I toss in some spinach or kale at the end for a pop of color and extra nutrients.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a splash of white wine while cooking for an extra flavor dimension.
Storage & Freezing
This stroganoff stores beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or plant-based oat milk to loosen it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
