Stir-Fried Vegetables and Tempeh With Spicy Peanut Sauce image

This is a wonderful pasta dish that my kids love, although I would never actually tell them what is in it! The peanut sauce can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator. This recipe as provided makes a ton of food, with the leftovers able to be kept for 2-4 weeks in the frig.
