Ingredients

• 300 grams vegetarian chicken pieces
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch together until smooth. Add the water and stir to combine. Set aside as the stir-fry sauce.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the vegetarian chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are heated through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, julienned carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the vegetarian chicken pieces to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetable and chicken mixture. Stir well to evenly coat everything with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Add the sliced green onions and toss everything together.

Step 10

Remove the stir-fry from the heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 11

Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot with cooked rice or noodles.
