Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Vegan beef strips
- 1 lb Asparagus
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 Scallions, chopped
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the vegan beef strips to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the vegan beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining sesame oil to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Return the vegan beef strips to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
