Ingredients

• 8 oz Plant-based ground meat
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 Green onions
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Chop the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into thin strips, peel and julienne the carrot, and trim the snow peas.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions thinly and set aside for garnish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a stir-fry sauce.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the plant-based ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for 4-5 minutes or until browned and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked plant-based ground meat to the skillet with the vegetables, and pour in the stir-fry sauce.

Step 9

Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables and plant-based ground evenly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles, as desired.
