Ingredients
- 16 pieces vegetarian chicken wings
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a large pan or skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Place the vegetarian chicken wings in the pan and lightly brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, vegetable broth, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Step 5
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the wings in the pan.
Step 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the wings braise gently for 20 minutes.
Step 7
After 20 minutes, uncover the pan and increase the heat to medium-high to slightly thicken the sauce.
Step 8
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water to create a slurry.
Step 9
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce in the pan to thicken further.
Step 10
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until the sauce reaches a desired consistency and coats the wings evenly.
Step 11
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
