Ingredients

• 200 grams Plant-based minced meat
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 medium, diced Bell pepper (any color)
• 1 small, diced Zucchini
• 100 grams, trimmed and cut into 2 cm pieces Green beans
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or sunflower oil)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 stalks, sliced for garnish Scallions (green onions)
• 1 teaspoon, for garnish Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by dicing the carrot, bell pepper, and zucchini, and cutting the green beans into 2 cm pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, and cornstarch until dissolved. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the neutral cooking oil.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the plant-based minced meat to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it browns and begins to crisp.

Step 6

Push the minced meat to one side of the skillet and add the sesame oil to the empty space. Add the diced carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.

Step 7

Stir the minced meat and vegetables together in the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the contents and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles, or enjoy as is for a low-carb option.
