Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vegetable broth, minced ginger, and brown sugar. Stir well and set aside.
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry and set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the vegan beef strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to brown. Remove the strips and set them aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the vegan beef strips to the wok with the vegetables.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the wok and stir well, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
