Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 500 grams minced meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (ensure it's dairy-free)
• 1 teaspoon chili paste or chili flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the minced meat to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet with the meat. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Incorporate the sliced bell peppers and julienned carrot into the stir-fry. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste (if using), and water. Mix well to create a sauce.

Step 6

Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a little water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Stir the mixture to thicken the sauce, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve the dairy-free minced meat stir-fry hot over rice or noodles, as desired.
