Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based minced meat
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Red chili
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegan oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or noodles (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients by mincing the garlic cloves and slicing the red chilies thinly. Measure out the other ingredients for quick access during cooking.
Step 2
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral cooking oil.
Step 3
When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced chili. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the plant-based minced meat to the wok, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly browned.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, coconut sugar, vegan oyster sauce, and lime juice. Pour the sauce mixture over the minced meat and stir well to coat evenly.
Step 6
Add the fresh basil leaves to the skillet and stir for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves are wilted and fully incorporated.
Step 7
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for added flavor, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 8
Serve the vegan stir-fried minced meat with basil over cooked jasmine rice or noodles. Garnish with additional fresh basil or chili slices, if desired.
