Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams vegetarian beef strips
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 60 ml water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by mincing the garlic and grating the ginger. Set these aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
In another bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir it into the soy sauce mixture. Set the sauce aside.
Slice the red bell pepper thinly and chop the green onions. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetarian beef strips and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the vegetarian beef strips to the skillet and pour over the soy-garlic sauce. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.
Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice or noodles.
