Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Vegan Quorn tenders
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 piece Fresh red chili, finely sliced
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the Vegan Quorn tenders to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and heated through. Remove the tenders from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked Quorn tenders to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Add the fresh red chili, scallions, and cilantro leaves to the skillet. Toss gently to combine and warm through for 1 minute.
Serve the Vegan Thai Quorn Tenders over a bed of cooked jasmine rice or rice noodles.
Garnish with additional cilantro leaves, toasted sesame seeds, and a wedge of lime, if desired.
