Instructions
Step one: prep and cook the tempeh

- Transfer the tempeh to a bowl, but don’t turn off the heat yet.

- Add the spinach to the bowl with the tempeh.
Step three: make the maple mustard
- Mix the mustard and maple syrup using a whisk or a fork and set aside.
Step four: serve and enjoy!
- Add the vegan kimchi to the bowl and serve everything with the maple mustard. Enjoy!
Notes
Instead of tempeh, you can also use: Seitan, smoked tofu, or pre-cooked chickpeas.
To turn this into two portions, either double the ingredients, or add 1/2 to 1 cup of cooked grains like quinoa or rice.
