Ingredients

• 400 grams vegetarian beef substitute
• 1 large bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large carrot
• 1 cup snap peas
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: Slice the bell pepper into thin strips, peel and slice the carrot thinly, and cut the green onions into diagonal pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. This will be used as a thickening agent for the sauce.

Step 3

In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the vegetarian beef substitute to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot slices, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil into the pan. Stir everything together to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another minute until the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve hot, either on its own or over cooked rice or noodles.
