Ingredients

• 200 grams plant-based meat strips (e.g., soy or seitan-based)
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 100 grams carrots, julienned
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 100 grams snap peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside to create the stir-fry sauce.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the plant-based meat strips to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the plant-based meat strips to the wok, mixing them with the vegetables.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and drizzle with sesame oil for extra flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
