Chinese style vegetable stir-fry, made with a hoisin-based sauce is a quick and simple vegetarian and vegan stir-fry with a distinct Asian flavor. Though the recipe calls for seitan, you could substitute tofu with good results and vary the vegetables used as well. This stir-fry has plenty of sauce, so serve over rice or noodles.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil+ 2 tbsp
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce + 2 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar or liquid sweetener
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • approx. 1 cup seitan, chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper
  • approx 2 cups broccoli, chopped

PREPARATION:

In a small saucepan, whisk together hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, vegetable broth, garlic, ginger and corn starch over medium heat. Allow to simmer until mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

In a large wok or skillet, stir-fry seitan in 2 tbsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add onions, pepper and broccoli and stir-fry another 2-3 minutes.

Add sauce mixture to the stir-fry and combine well, allowing to cook another 2-3 minutes, until broccoli is done cooking.

Serve your Chinese vegetable stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, if desired. See also:
