Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces plant-based ground meat
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the onion. Core and thinly slice the bell pepper. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin rounds. Chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based ground meat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced bell pepper, and carrot rounds. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the broccoli florets, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked plant-based ground meat to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry. Stir well to combine, ensuring everything is coated with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry just before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
