Green Beans and Tempeh in XO Sauce

Originating in Hong Kong, XO Sauce is a Chinese sauce made from dried seafood, including shrimp, scallops, and fish. The seafood is mixed with chili and garlic to create a somewhat chunky paste packed in oil. The “XO” part of the name stands for “Extra Old,” similar to labels for XO cognac.
