Instructions
- 1
Combine the sorghum, 2 1/2 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the sorghum is tender and chewy and has absorbed most of the liquid, 45–50 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

While the sorghum cooks, whisk together the turmeric, grated ginger, tamari, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Add the tempeh cubes and toss to coat evenly.
