Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based pork substitute
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce (vegetarian)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 medium Bell peppers, sliced
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 3 stalks Scallions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by slicing the bell peppers, julienning the carrot, and slicing the scallions. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Add water to the mixture and stir until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the plant-based pork substitute to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, until it starts to brown slightly.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the pork substitute and stir well to combine.
Add the sliced bell peppers and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, keeping the vegetables slightly crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle sliced scallions on top and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
