Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based minced meat
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Red chili
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegan oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by mincing the garlic cloves and slicing the red chilies thinly. Measure out the other ingredients for quick access during cooking.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral cooking oil.
When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced chili. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the plant-based minced meat to the wok, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly browned.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, coconut sugar, vegan oyster sauce, and lime juice. Pour the sauce mixture over the minced meat and stir well to coat evenly.
Add the fresh basil leaves to the skillet and stir for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves are wilted and fully incorporated.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for added flavor, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Serve the vegan stir-fried minced meat with basil over cooked jasmine rice or noodles. Garnish with additional fresh basil or chili slices, if desired.
