- 2 carrots, cut into thin batons
- Handful sugar snap peas, topped & tailed
- ¼ small cabbage, leaves separated & cut into large strips
- 1 small head broccoli, broken into small florets
- Handful baby spinach
- 150g tempeh, sliced into strips
Method
- Heat wok over high heat. Add peanuts and toast until golden brown.

- To assemble cabbage rolls, place a few pieces of carrot and peas on cabbage leaf, then roll cabbage around carrots and sugar snaps. Heat wok and add some water, then bring to boil. Place steaming basket in wok. Add cabbage rolls, cover with lid and steam for a couple of mins until cabbage is softened. Remove rolls from steaming basket and set aside.
- Add another cup of water to wok, bring to boil and add broccoli florets and remaining carrots to steaming basket. Cover with lid and steam for a few mins. When broccoli is bright green, remove vegetables from steaming basket.
- Add remaining cabbage and spinach leaves to basket and steam for a couple of mins and, when leaves have wilted, remove vegetables from basket.
- Add sliced tempeh to steaming basket and steam for a couple of mins.
- To assemble, place some peanut sauce on platter. Place cabbage rolls on top of sauce. Add some steamed tempeh in between rolls. Add some broccoli florets and spinach to top. Drizzle peanut sauce on top.
