Instructions
- Prepare the dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add water if needed and place in the fridge until ready to use.
- Prepare the rice by heating the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the dry rice and cook until toasted (approx. 3-5 minutes), stirring frequently. Slowly add the broth to the pan, followed by the garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat. Cook until the rice is cooked through. Add the parsley and fluff with a fork. Set aside until ready to eat.
- When the rice is done prepare the tempeh. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tempeh, garlic powder and smoked paprika to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the BBQ sauce and cook until it begins to caramelize (approx. 3-5 minutes). Turn heat to low until ready to eat.
