Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based beef strips
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 0.33 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place the plant-based beef strips in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated plant-based beef strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Lower the heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and red chili flakes. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the garlic and ginger. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Return the crispy plant-based beef strips to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the Mongolian beefless beef with sliced green onions.
Step 7
Serve hot over a bed of cooked white or brown rice.
