Savory Tempeh Stroganoff - Vegan recipe hero image

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.

Plus, tempeh brings such a wonderful, nutty flavor that pairs so beautifully with the creamy sauce.

It’s a dish that I love to share with friends, and I hope it brings you as much joy as it does for me!

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

  • •I like to make extra and store the leftovers in the fridge; they’re even better the next day!
  • •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

Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just use tamari instead of soy sauce, and you're all set.

What if I don't have tempeh?

You can use chickpeas or lentils instead for a different but still delicious texture.
