Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams plant-based beef strips
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 10 grams cornstarch
- 50 ml water
- 10 grams sesame seeds
- 3 stalks green onions
- 15 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
First, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red and green bell peppers and the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the green onions diagonally and set aside for garnish.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, and cornstarch until smooth. This will be your stir fry sauce.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the plant-based beef strips to the pan, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions, stirring constantly for another 5 minutes until they become slightly tender but still crisp.
Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the ingredients in the pan, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
Allow the sauce to thicken for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are glazed and cooked through.
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir fry for added flavor and texture.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot over a bed of steamed rice or your choice of noodles for a complete meal.
