Miso BBQ Tempeh Wraps
Nothing is more satisfying than umami, and nothing says umami like miso. This recipe was inspired by the miso barbecue sauce recipe on the Westbrae organic red miso container!
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 10

Kitchen equipment you’ll need: food processor or high-speed blender

1 cup carrots, shredded**
½ cup green onion, sliced
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
gluten-free wraps
BBQ Sauce Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup yellow onion, minced
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
4 oz. tomato paste
¼ cup red miso paste
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp honey
¾ cup water

Slaw Dressing Ingredients:
3 Tbsp avocado oil

*I like Lightlife Organic Flax Tempeh.
**Use a food processor, mandoline, and/or grater.
Directions:
First, make the BBQ sauce and the slaw. These can be made in advance and set aside.
BBQ sauce: Over medium heat, sauté garlic and onions in sesame oil until tender (note: sesame oil burns easily; do not overheat). Add remaining ingredients, mix well, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. For a smooth sauce, purée in a food processor or blender.
Slaw: In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together all slaw dressing ingredients. Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour dressing over veggies and mix well.
To make the wraps, heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Add tempeh to hot pan with a bit of coconut oil or avocado oil; brown on both sides. Cut into ½” strips (use a non-scratch spatula to cut tempeh while it sits in the pan), then add BBQ sauce and sauté together (stirring frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking) until hot throughout.
Heat another large skillet on medium-high heat and lightly toast tortillas on both sides, one tortilla at a time. Remove from heat, then layer tempeh, BBQ sauce, and slaw in a wrap.
