Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken pieces and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and carrot, and cook for 5 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add the frozen peas to the vegetable mix and sauté for 2 minutes.
Return the cooked vegan chicken pieces to the pan, stirring to combine.
Pour in the soy sauce and vegetable broth, then add the ground cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
Add the cooked brown rice to the pan and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
