Mongolian Beef (Vegan)
Ingredients:

For the Sauce

3 tsp. soy sauce

2 tbsp. organic brown sugar

1/3 cup water

2 tbsp. chilled water

1 tsp. cornstarch

For the Stir-Fry

1- 8 oz. package seitan strips (I used Upton’s Natural)

2 tbsp. cornstarch

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tsp. freshly grated ginger

2-3 fresh Thai chili peppers

2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions:

1. Make the sauce by stirring soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of water together in a small bowl. Stir cornstarch and chilled water together in a small cup. Set aside.

2. Put cornstarch in a medium bowl and add seitan. Toss to coat.

3. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add seitan in as even a layer as possible. Cook until strips are browned and crisp on bottoms, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook 4-5 minutes more, until strips are crispy on opposite sides. Remove seitan from skillet and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

4. Lower heat to medium. Add garlic, ginger, and Thai chilies, if using, to skillet. Sauté 2 minutes, until very fragrant and chilies begin to darken a bit. Return seitan to the skillet with the sauce, cornstarch mixture, and scallions. Flip a few times to coat, and cook just until sauce becomes very thick, about 2 minutes.

5. Serve immediately with brown rice or your favorite noodles.
