Crumble the tofu or tempeh into small bits with your hands into a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tempeh or tofu and turn the heat to medium. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh or tofu is golden brown. Add the minced onion to the pan and the remaining tablespoon of oil, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin and cook 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, ketchup and 1/2 cup water, the peas, and cook for 2 minutes.
