Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Plant-based beef substitute
- 12 ounces Asparagus
- 1 small Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce (vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until fully combined and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based beef substitute and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return the plant-based beef substitute to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to taste.
Serve the stir-fried 'beef' and asparagus hot over steamed rice or noodles.
