Fried Tempeh with Apricot Mustard

From Christinacooks.com
Ingredients:
Toasted sesame oil, to coat pan
8 ounce block of tempeh, cut into thin squares

Apricot Mustard:

4 tablespoons stoneground mustard
4 tablespoons unsweetened apricot preserves
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
sea salt
2 teaspoons brown rice syrup
Fresh greens (I like arugala, spinach, or mustard greens)

Directions

Mix together ingredients for Apricot Mustard

Place enough sesame oil in a skillet to generously cover the bottom. Turn
the heat to medium and when the oil is hot (you'll see patterns forming in
the oil, known as 'dancing'). Begin pan-frying the tempeh until browned,
turning once, cooking 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper and set aside.

For the sauce, simply place apricot mustard mixture in a small sauce pan,
using salt to your taste. Warm over low heat until the preserves and rice
syrup thin, creating a thick sauce, about 1 minute. Do not cook until the
mixture foams. As soon as the apricot mustard thins, stir in tempeh to coat.
Serve over fresh greens. Makes 3-4 servings.
