Ingredients
- 300 grams Vegetarian beef strips
- 3 tablespoons Black bean sauce
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 50 milliliters Water
- 2 pieces Spring onions
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Slice the garlic cloves and ginger thinly. Chop the red bell pepper into strips, and cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Chop the spring onions finely.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth. Set aside this mixture for the sauce.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetarian beef strips and stir-fry until they are heated through and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the red bell pepper and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they start to soften but still retain their crunch.
Step 6
Return the vegetarian beef strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the black bean sauce and the soy sauce mixture prepared earlier. Stir everything together, making sure the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients.
Step 7
Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
