Prepare all ingredients: chop the vegetables, mince the garlic and ginger, and measure out the sauces.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely, then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based meat and stir-fry until browned and heated through (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked plant-based meat to the pan and mix well with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce into the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the stir-fry.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the stir-fry immediately on its own or with steamed rice or noodles.
