- Salt and pepper - To taste
- Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
- Tahini - 2 tablespoons
- Mixed vegetables - 2 cups, chopped
- Water - 2 cups

Let's Get Started
- Cut the tempeh into cubes and marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, maple syrup, and minced garlic for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh and cook until it's browned on all sides.
- While the tempeh is cooking, prepare the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then add it to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed.
- Steam or sauté the mixed vegetables until they're tender.
- Prepare the tahini dressing by mixing together the tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Buddha bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls, then top with the cooked tempeh and vegetables. Drizzle the tahini dressing on top.
