Ingredients

• 14 ounces plant-based ground meat
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 large carrot
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the onion. Core and thinly slice the bell pepper. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin rounds. Chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based ground meat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced bell pepper, and carrot rounds. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked plant-based ground meat to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry. Stir well to combine, ensuring everything is coated with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry just before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
