Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams vegetarian chicken pieces
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 100 grams snow peas
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by chopping the bell pepper, julienning the carrot, cutting the broccoli into florets, and slicing the green onions.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.
In another small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the vegetarian chicken pieces to the pan, stir-frying until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan. Stir-fry the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the vegetarian chicken to the pan, and pour the soy sauce mixture over all the ingredients. Stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Season the stir-fry with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your vegetarian chicken and broccoli stir fry!
