Cut tempeh into 3/4 of a block.

In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon agave nectar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove.

Toss the tempeh into the marinade and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 1 hour.

Add about 1/4 cup of water to a skillet and add the marinated tempeh with the marinade.

Cover the skillet and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.

Stir-fry the vegetables using a little water until they soften and become slightly translucent, adding more water if needed to prevent sticking.

Add broccoli to the same pan, sprinkle with tamari, cover, and steam on medium heat for about 3 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of precooked quinoa, 1 can of corn, 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans, 1/8 teaspoon chili powder, 1/8 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mix well.

Assemble the bowl by adding quinoa salad, steamed broccoli, and sliced avocado.
