Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Plant-based chicken strips
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 cup Snap peas
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onion
Instructions
Prepare your vegetables by cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slicing the red bell pepper into strips, peeling and julienning the carrot, and mincing the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make the stir-fry sauce. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes, until slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked plant-based chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture and toss everything together to evenly coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
