Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 8 ounces Vegetarian beef strips
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Canola oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by peeling and dicing the carrot, chopping the green bell pepper, red onion, and garlic cloves finely.

Step 2

Slice the vegetarian beef strips into bite-sized pieces. Also slice the green onions thinly for garnish, separating the whites from the greens.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the vegetarian beef strips. Stir-fry them until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the edges, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining canola oil, followed by the chopped garlic and red onion. Sauté until fragrant and the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the diced carrot and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 7

Add the frozen peas to the pan and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until they are heated through.

Step 8

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the sesame oil to the empty side. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the oil, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.

Step 9

Drizzle soy sauce over the rice and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.

Step 10

Add the cooked vegetarian beef strips back into the pan. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.

Step 11

Remove from heat and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced green onion greens and serve hot.
